Not exactly -- there is a difference between the two:
Ctrl-W o makes the current buffer the "only buffer"
Ctrl-W _ maximizes current buffer, minimizes others

One way would be to create a BufEnter autocommand that gets
triggered whenever the help buffer is entered -- putting
the following in your vimrc (and restarting vim) should work:
augroup HelpMaximizer
autocmd!
autocmd BufEnter * if( &ft == 'help') | :wincmd _ | endif
augroup END
