No, but although it's not as slick as Google Maps, http://www.streetmap.co.uk will accept OS grid refs.

Edit: This link will let you enter a gridref: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http://www.nearby.org.uk/google/gridref_mapplet.xml

Needs to be full 2-letter + 8-digit reference and for some reason it only centres the map, doesn't actually put a marker on.
