Not from the time(1) utility itself according to:
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/time/time.c
But it doesn't seem like it would be all that hard to add this
functionality in printt(). Might make a good RFE (if there isn't one
already).

But note that the time(1) utility writes to stderr, not stdout, so you
can just use redirection to get the output in a file:
/bin/time echo foo 2>/tmp/foo
foo
cat /tmp/foo
real 0.0
user 0.0
sys 0.0
