No, however you could estimates a fixed effects frontier model using
-frontier- and incorporate them into the inefficiency equation (-uhet-
option).
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2003-07/msg00349.html has some
additional discussion of modeling inefficiencies that might be useful.
Hope this helps,
