Yes. At room temperature, not much, but as toluene is heated to boiling, the solubility of sulfur increases. I had a 2200 g. core sample run through a Dean Stark apparatus to completion in toluene solvent and 130 g of sulfur precipitated onto the glassware in the condensing column. Since the toluene rose to the condensing column as a vapor phase, the sulfur had to have been in solution, and dropped out as the vapor cooled.
