From a glance, no:

rootfs_deb.bbclass
	# Attempt to run postinsts
	# Mark packages with postinst failures as unpacked
	for i in ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst; do
		if [ -f $i ] && ! sh $i configure; then
			_flag unpacked `basename $i .postinst`
		fi
	done

rootfs_ipk.bbclass:
	for i in ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}${opkglibdir}/info/*.postinst; do
		if [ -f $i ] && ! sh $i configure; then
		     	runtime_script_required=1
			opkg-cl ${IPKG_ARGS} flag unpacked `basename $i .postinst`
		fi
	done
