Not in 1.5.20. But getaddrinfo and getnameinfo are on my TODO list. It's not done with just exporting getaddrinfo, since it only exists in WinSock versions beginning with XP, and in the experimental v6 stack implementation for 2K. Licensewise, it seems to be possible to use the getaddrinfo implementation on http://www.sra.co.jp/people/m-kasahr/getaddrinfo/ for systems having no IPv6 and the WinSock implementation otherwise. But, as I said, that's something for 1.5.21.
