No.

There are things you can do to manipulate the xfdesktop background. You
can create an image list and have a script call xfdesktop at a certain
interval. That will give you a randomly changing background.

Or you can copy an image to e.g. ~/current_background.png, choose that as
background and then have a script copy different files to
~/current_background.png and run xfdesktop to refresh.
