Not a hope. Even now, 135 years later, with all the scientific and engineering expertise we've accumulated since Krakatoa blew its top, if we had a few months' advance warning that such an explosion was imminent, about all we would be able to do is move a bunch of people out of harm's way and set up a lot of cameras, because nothing mankind is yet able to accomplish would alter such an immense natural cataclysm in the slightest.
In 1883 we were still firmly in the age of steam power -- cobbling together 200 horsepower was about as impressive a feat of mechanical force as we could manage back then. Krakatoa simply dwarfed our capacities to effect change on the world. Its explosion is still at least four times more powerful than the most enormous nuclear explosion we've been able to achieve.
