Yes.  The output looks like this:

# fmtutil-sys --byfmt jadetex
fmtutil: running `pdftex -ini   -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex &latex jadetex.ini' ...
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) (INITEX)
 %&-line parsing enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
Sorry, I can't find the format `latex.fmt'; will try `jadetex.fmt'.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt jadetex.fmt
fmtutil: running `pdftex -ini   -jobname=jadetex -progname=jadetex &latex jadetex.ini' ...
