Hi Lucia. No, it does not.
There are several reasons I can think of for this fact. First, a "heuristical" reason in training time: if you take a look at how Moses does the phrase extraction, you will realize it has no sense to consider them. On the other hand, a more theoretical reason in decoding time: considering 0-fertility segments (n-word source-phrases aligned to null) boosts complexity, and the problem becomes unfeasible, as far as I remember.
