Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the answer is No.
Anti-aliasing of text is taken care of by the browser (which is in
turn taken care of by the OS).
If you've got a case of the jaggies, I would recommend looking at the
following items:
1) The font on your particular machine is bitmap, not vector based.
2) The particular size (too small or weird: 11.423pt) makes it hard
for your machine to deal with nicely.
3) The font you've specified is unavailable and has been substituted
for an alternate.
4) An anti-aliasing gremlin was hungry and started nibbling on your font-edges.
