Yes, it is. Twice, in fact:
Aug 15 14:13:34 tuna tftpd[14711]: 192.168.34.110: read request for 'pxeboot'
Aug 15 14:13:34 tuna tftpd[14711]: 192.168.34.110: read request for 'pxeboot'

'/etc/boot.conf'

'/etc/random.seed'
Aug 15 14:13:40 tuna tftpd[14711]: 192.168.34.110: read request for
'/etc/random.seed'
Aug 15 14:13:40 tuna tftpd[14711]: 192.168.34.110: read request for 'bsd.rd'
Not sure why the file is hit twice, hadn't noticed it before.
