Yes, see section 8.3.1 of the CORBA spec (OMG document 04-03-12). It says:

The set_result operation is used to specify any return value for the call.
Unless
set_exception is called, if the invoked operation has a non-void result
type, set_result
must be called exactly once before the DIR returns. If the operation has a
void result
type, set_result may optionally be called once with an Any whose type is
tk_void.
