Not really.
For C/C++/Java you can add/modify the keywords in the 'docComment'
setting in filetypes.[c|cpp|java|...].

These keywords are highlighted in such filetypes in documetation
comments, e.g.
/** @todo something we should do */
the prefixed '@' sign is necessary.

But currently there is no generic solution for this.

There could be a plugin to do something like this, e.g. by setting an
indicator on such words, like a green or yellow underline or something
else.

Enrico
