No. (Lack of feature in dvips).

This can be changed by the configuration file hyperref.cfg.
My experience/impression is that more people want to have
ps/pdf than dvi.

Excerpt from the README:

| * Wrapped/broken link support
|
| Only few drivers support automatically wrapped/broken links,
| e.g. pdftex, dvipdfm, hypertex. Other drivers lack this
| feature, e.g. dvips, dvipsone.
|
| Workarounds:
| * For long section or caption titles in the table of contents
| or list of figures/tables option "linktocpage" can be used.
| Then the page number will be a link, and the overlong section
| title is not forced into an one line link with overvull \hbox
| warning.
| * "\url"s are catched by package "breakurl".
| * The option "breaklinks" is intended for internal use. But it
| can be used to force link wrapping, e.g. when printing a
| document. However, when such a document is converted to PDF
| and viewed with a PDF viewer, the active link area will be
| misplaced.
