Not on the K10D - this is a nice feature on the newer camera models that don't have the SR switch.
I always shoot with delay and remote shutter when using a tripod. A couple of times, I forgot to disable SR on my K10D and it gave me some really scary vibrations when mounted on a tripod - now I think that recommendation is more than just about avoiding a bad photo.
