Yes. Add "api-documentation" to DISTRO_FEATURES and you will get 
manpages and gtk-doc based documentation generated, packaged and added 
to SDKs. It will slow down the build significantly, so use with care.

I considered adding doxygen support as well, but generating and 
installing that needs to be hand-crafted for each recipe, and so it 
wasn't done. You are welcome to work on that, subject to 
api-documentation being enabled. I have a recipe for doxygen itself here:
