As Steffen already told you: no.

The information you need (screen size) is not passed to the server with 
a request. This information is therefore not available on the server 
(the server doesn't know the screen size of the browser) and as a result 
it cannot be used inside TypoScript.

If you need to change the layout depending on the screen size Steffen 
already pointed you in the right direction: use CSS with media queries 
to load a different CSS file for different screen sizes.
