No. Once the kernel reboots, the dmesg data is lost. Unless ofcourse you put

FYI, the bootmisc init script already does this for you, or at least it
does with the ~x86 baselayout. Just "rc-update -a bootmisc boot" if it
isn't already turned on.
Also, syslog-ng will dump the kernel log to /var/log/messages when it
starts up. I don't know about other loggers, but they should do
something similar.
Of course, none of that helps you if your root filesystem doesn't mount!
