No. Hamlet does show some interest in being king before he dies, especially in the line "popped in between the election and my hopes." Nevertheless his main interest is to return to University. "As for your intent to return to Wittenberg, it is most retrograde to our desires."
However, Hamlet shows no wish to be king after he dies. This would mean that Denmark was to be ruled by a ghost, and although apparently there is some precedent for ghost-kings showing up in Denmark, a spectral monarch would probably be a fairly ineffective form of government. I mean, the privy council could only meet at midnight . . .
