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

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.
Richard, where is this documented? I've missed it entirely....
Well, the authoritative document is "less /etc/init.d/bootmisc". ;-> I
don't know if it is documented somewhere else. You should find:
# Create an 'after-boot' dmesg log
#
touch /var/log/dmesg
chmod 640 /var/log/dmesg
dmesg > /var/log/dmesg
I just checked the stable baselayout (1.11.13-r1), and it seems to be there.
