No :-)

I realise this is not the KiCad list, but I use gerbv to assist in
manually placing components as well: a script generates dots at x/y
locations of all components of a given value. I then simply view the
generated gerbers overlaying the silk and paste layers (say), to see
where these components should be placed.

For completeness sake, this is what I use:
