No, it wasn't.  From the cvs commit log:

  date: 2001/12/13 19:13:16;  author: rfalke
  Add the option "tinyisles" to leave tiny (1x1) islands on the map. Add
  the option "separatepoles" to allow poles which are connected with a
  continent.

I have no objection to adding a new server option haspoles.  I wouldn't 
particularly object to renaming the separatepoles option to haspoles and 
changing its meaning (although I'd first want to know why it was 
originally added).
