There isn't currently, but it should be possible to add it.  The
window creation is done in src/gnuwin32/devga.c.  

However, the user interface doesn't look easy.  Windows machines can
have more than one monitor, so you'd want to be able to say which
monitor it would appear on, as well as where.  I think you'd want to
be able to query the monitor size to make the choice useful.  

Is this something that you'd be able to do a first pass through?  I'd
be happy to put it in if someone else did most of the work, but I've
got a lot of other things in the works, and this looks too
time-consuming for a relatively small payback.  After all, you can
manually move the window after it is created.
