Nope.
$ hg help urls
URL Paths
Valid URLs are of the form:
local/filesystem/path[#revision]
file://local/filesystem/path[#revision]
http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
https://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
ssh://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/[path][#revision]
...
There's a section in there about SSH URLs you'll probably want to read.
You need Mercurial installed on the server machine, and its path
handling is a little weird if you're used to another SCM.
Works fine without a web server, though.
