Family relationships for that time period are very complicated and unclear, but if you go with the common theory that Tutankhamun was a son of Akhenaten, then yes, he did have siblings. Akhenaten had several daughters and these daughters may have been full or half sisters to Tutankhamun.
Tutankhamun also married a woman who was probably his half-sister, Ankhesenamun, a daughter of Akhenaten.

The children of Akhenaten (that we know of for sure), include: Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenamun (originally named Ankhesenpaaten), Neferneferuaten Tasherit, Neferneferure, and Setepenre. These were all daughters.

Possible children of Akhenaten include: Smenkhare, Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit, and Tutankhamun himself.

Other theories about Tutankhamun's parentage suggest that he may have been a son of Amenhotep III, which would make him a brother to Akhenaten.
Yet another theory suggest that Tut was the son of Smenkhare. Given that scholars cannot agree on who Smehnkhare was, who his parentage was, or whether he had children (or even, in some cases if he was a *he*), it is nearly impossible to postulate whether Tut had siblings if he was a son of Smenkhare.
