No, not like that.
You could create your own custom fact and use that via command line.
See:
http://www.practicalclouds.com/content/guide/converting-user-data-arguments-facts.
It's not a perfect example, but does have some logic for parsing
arguments.
As you're a self proclaimed newbie, this may take longer than you wish.
Another option is you can wrap creating your manifest (site.pp or imports)
in a script, but that's probably not the ideal solution.
What are you trying to do? Arbitrary remote execution of commands? If
so, Puppet might not be the best platform. Consider something like
Fabric/Capistrano, Ansible or Salt Stack (or just plain Bash).
