I don't think so, but let us ask the maintainer:

Matthias, to make builds reproducible, we need to eliminate
timestamps and such stuff from build results. Do you think,
not having timestamps in HTML generated by doxygen would be
a useful default? Maybe even acceptable by upstream?

Otherwise, all Debian packages that use doxygen need to be
changed to use HTML_TIMESTAMP=NO.
