Sort of.

Server boards usually have a serial console, even when there is no
single serial port. It's accessible through the BMC and IPMI protocol
over the network. Some boards also let you ssh to the BMC to access
the console.

Simple PCI or PCIe cards could act as a kind of late serial console
(working after the card drivers have attached). But that's not yet
supported.

USB is usually too complex, requiring larger parts of the kernel
to function. So a serial console on USB often fails exactly when
you need to use it.
