No. But you have two options:
- Notepad++ is GNU. Get the sources, patch, build.
- Open the file, hit Ctrl+End

If you open files from a shortcut or command line, you can add flags to specify the line number and column to place the cursor, e.g.
"notepad++.exe" -n12 -c34 license.txt
(note no spaces between -n/-c and line/column numbers).
To open the file at the bottom, use a very large line number, e.g.
"notepad++.exe" -n999999 filename

You can not only see the updated file but also always shift to the updated line i.e. e.o.f. like in case of viewing logs.
Settings -> Preferences -> MISC
Tick **Update silently**
Tick **scroll to the last line after update**.

the Notepad++ has a superb useful command line parameter -monitor You just start it in the prompt:
c:\> notepad++ -monitor d:/temp/monitor_me.log
It opens (or creates) a file, and starts probing it several times per second. When it detects that the file was changed, it updates the screen with the changes and tries scrolling to the end.
