No, I don't think so.

Doxygen can only pull out one section for a particular function. It
looks like this:

/*!
 Short description
 \param foo Foo description
 \param bar Bar description
 ...
 \retval xx XX description
 \retval yy YY description
 ...
 \return Return value description

 Long function description....
 ........
 ......
*/

So it's not suitable for in-line comments in the code, which I suspect
is what you are after. If it's just additional very explicit
paragraphs about the functionality of the function body, they should
be OK to add to the above.
