Yes.  If you use the --git option of qrefresh, then renames are shown in
the .hg/patches tree as shown below (look at the lines marked with a '+'
character at the beginning of the line):

  keramida at kobe:/home/keramida$ cd /tmp
  keramida at kobe:/tmp$ mkdir hgtest
  keramida at kobe:/tmp$ cd hgtest
  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg init
  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ echo a > a
  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg commit -A -u test -m 'Initial revision.'
  adding a
  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg log -v

  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg qnew -fe foo
  [insert patch log in editor]
  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg rename a b
  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ hg qrefresh --git
  keramida at kobe:/tmp/hgtest$ more .hg/patches/foo
  rename 'a' to 'b'
  
  diff --git a/a b/b
