IIRC, no. But it wouldn't be hard. Something like this would do the trick
(very cheap):

--- CUT HERE ---
#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to 'wget' a setup.hint file for a given package

pkg=$1
mirror=$2
if [ "x$pkg" = "x" ]; then
  echo "usage: $(basename $0) [package name] [optional mirror]"
  exit 1
fi
if [ "x$mirror" = "x" ]; then

mirror="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/release/
"
fi

cd /tmp
[ -e setup.hint ] && rm -f setup.hint
wget $mirror$pkg/setup.hint >/dev/null 2>&1
fgrep 'requires' setup.hint
--- CUT HERE ---

Very dirty actally. But after adding an option or two this would do the
trick. You could also use your local cache with setup.ini .
