No, the names of the 12 Tribes of Israel are on the Gates. The 12 Apostle's names are on the foundations of the wall of the city:

Revelation 21:12-14New International Version (NIV)

12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

In Scripture, the number 12 represents 'organizational beginnings.'
