Not with any built-in function, nor will that be possible to do while 
routing that trace.
Yet you can enable displaying pin-numbers in the board view by checking 
"display pad names" in options -> set -> misc.

Or you can write your own ulp to place text-elements onto the track. but 
as stated, this will be static only. So the labels wont change/move with 
changing the trace without re-running the ulp.
