Yes:

    iabbrev ackby Acked-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    iabbrev repby Reported-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    iabbrev revby Reviewed-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    iabbrev sigby Signed-off-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    iabbrev suggby Suggested-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    iabbrev testby Tested-by: Bjoern Walk <bwalk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Should work identical to the emacs version.
