I don't think so, no.

Remember that SNMPv1 traps are non-acknowledged,
so that the agent has no way of knowing whether the trap
was received or not.    It doesn't make sense to try and
re-send unacknowledged notifications.

I haven't checked the code but would expect that the retry
and timeout values are only used for *acknowledged* requests
(GET, SET, and INFORM)
