No, but you can rewrite your mouseover handler to do it
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=javascript+settimeout+cleartimeout

Start a timer on mouseover.  When it expires, open the infowindow.
If you get a mouseout in the meantime, cancel the timer.
Before starting the timer, check to see if it is already started and
if so cancel it before starting anew.
You might also want to cancel on a click.

Beware opening, infowindows can cause the map to pan and so unexpected
mouseouts.

Personally I dislike the whole approach due to the unexpected map pans.
