No.

XF86Setup is a graphical configuration utility.  xf86configurator (there
is no XF86config, though both utilities are designed to create an
/etc/X11/XF86Config file) is a command-line, menu-driven tool.  I find I
have much better luck (and can navigate more smoothly through)
XF86Setup, and recommend it strongly.
