Sort of.

Create a stylesheet customisation layer based off Norm's stylesheets,
and override the generate-anchor function to use the question numbers
instead.

For example, take a look at

    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/share/sgml/freebsd.dsl

and the code that starts

    <!-- Override generate-anchor ...

for an example of how to do this.
