Yes, and it works the same way as for columns. Like columns,
relationships and foreign keys have N named method types created on
their behalf. Examples of method type names are get, get_set,
get_set_on_save, find, count, etc. There are default method type
lists, but users can alter the list by adding and removing types on a
per-relationship basis.
You can ask any metadata object that makes methods for the name of the
method of a given type by calling the method_name() method. For
example, the column->accessor_method_name implementation is really
just:
return $column->method_name('get') || $column->method_name('get_set')

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB-Object/lib/Rose/DB/Object/Metadata/Column.pm#method_name
So, to get a "getter" for a relationship, call:
$rel->method_name('...') || $rel->method_name('...') || ...
where the "..." parts are the method type names in your order of preference.

See the relationship docs for the list of supported method types.
