In case anyone else finds this helpful.  I poked around the DrRacket source 
and found text:get-completions/manuals.  This gave me a thread to pull.  
After more googling, docs, and reading more source I think I can answer my 
own question.


The short answer is no.


The long answer is sort of.  If I am understanding correctly, Racket does 
not provide the capability to directly look up lexical scope aware 
completions.  But, text:get-completions/manuals in framework can be used to 
look up a list of keywords in documented exports.  That list can then be 
searched for an applicable completion for a partial word.


Not sure why I failed to find this yesterday.


https://docs.racket-lang.org/framework/Text.html?q=text%3Aget-completions%2Fmanuals#%28def._%28%28lib._framework%2Fmain..rkt%29._text~3aget-completions%2Fmanuals%29%29


Here is a quick and dirty example.  There is probably a much better way to 
do this, but I'm still learning.  I'll settle for something that just works 
for now.


#lang racket
(require framework)

(filter (lambda (x) (regexp-match #px"^def" x)) 
(text:get-completions/manuals #f))
