probably not. it is meant to give a system-wide message to those who
login.

you can put the date/time and a message that goes with it, and then
write a script that prints to the screen, at the time specified.
(make it a cron job that wakes up every 5 minutes and checks to see if
the date/time is within the next 5 minutes, and if not then exit)

I've written something similar in perl. What mine does is to send me a
mail at work at 2PM for anything that is for that specific day.

It could be adapted to do what you want.
