No, reentry permit should be applied for before leaving US and got approved though it could be asked to be sent to an address abroad. If a green card holder stays outside US for years together he has the option to reenter using a returning visa(SB-1).
For this the green card holder should contact closest US consulate with Immigration Form DS-117 available online and downloadable.
