Yes, there are at least a couple of ways, but you would need Carlson Survey or equivalent to create a triangulation surface or a grid from, and you can stake to that by elevation difference. You can also stake to road design files or an elevation.
Edit: I read that in the soon to be released SurvCE 3, you can stake to a LandXML model. I'm not familiar with that, but sounds similar to what you were talking about. Staking to a TIN works well, and you can stake to a vertical offset from the TIN.
