Yes.

Excerpt of XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/css/collapsible.imp 
(applies to DocBook 4 and 5):

---
part > title:first-child:before {
     content: collapser() " Part " simple-counter(n-, upper-roman) ": ";
}

chapter > title:first-child:before {
     content: collapser() " Chapter " simple-counter(n-, decimal) ": ";
}

sect1 > title:first-child:before {
     content: collapser() " " simple-counter(n-) " ";
}

sect2 > title:first-child:before {
     content: collapser() " " simple-counter(nn-) " ";
}

simple-counter() is documented here: 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/csssupport/simple-counter.html 
. (The standard CSS counter() is available too.)

You need to customize the CSS style sheet used to render DocBook 
documents on screen. See
