This is asked quite frequently. The short answer is No.
Stata's bias is that this would often produce an awful, awful mess.
A longer answer is that you can draw your own alternative axis lines using -xli(0)- and -yli(0)-.
Re-positioning axis ticks, labels and titles would be more work and require at least some degree of fudge.
If you want the first, but not the second, then this answer will be positive for you. For some more discussion, see

Does anyone know if/how it is possible to get the axis of a scatter
plot to appear within the graph when the plotted points cross zero?
Ie:
|
10 |
| x x
-----------x-------------x------
-10 x 0 | x 10
|
-10 |
Rather than
10 |
| x x
0 | x x
| x x
-10 |_____________________________________
-10 0 10
