I do not think so.

This is equivalent to having hg pull -u. It cannot do everything that hg 
update can do, but it is extremely useful. Because in most cases I just need 
the simple use case.

If I want to update to non-tip, I use hg update.

If I want to do more than just amend the latest commit, I use hg amend.
More exactly: If I want to do more than 

    hg rollback; C-r com 

I use hg amend. But most of the time, I only need the simple “fix my last 
commit”.

Best wishes,
Arne
