Yes.

Option: citymindist  -  Minimum distance between cities (move distance)
Description:
  When a player founds a new city, it is checked if there is no other city in
  citymindist distance. For example, if citymindist is 3, there have to be at
  least two empty fields between two cities every direction. If it is set to 0
  (default), it is overwritten by the current ruleset when the game starts.
Status: changeable
Value: 0, Minimum: 0, Default: 0, Maximum: 5
