Sure is. It even gets a special mention in the <drumroll>user
guide</drumroll>.

In the section on Romaji:
"If you are entering KUN readings when looking up kanji, note that
the fixed and inflecting portions are divided by a "." (in ASCII).
Normally entering a "." in romaji will result in a JIS ".", so WWWJDIC
lets you specify an ASCII "." by using a comma. Thus, use "a,u" or
"ka,keru". Note this only applies to the kanji database."
