No.

There is code in cygwin itself which translates between windows errors and errno
but it is not exported for users to use.

You can inspect the code in CVS via the web, here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/cygwin/errno.cc?rev=1.23&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=src

Or, you can check out the cygwin sources using the instructions given here:
