Yes, but you will have to assemble it yourself and put the pieces
together with Show.  No mathematica function by itself will display two
axes, but you could make a plot with a frame and a left hand axis, then
a plot with a frame and a right hand axis, then put them together with
show.  This will result in an ugly looking plot because both graphs
will be plotted on the same absolute scale, so you will need to put one
of the plots on a scaled coordinate system to get it to look right. 
The mathematica book can help with these operations. --
