Not that I know of since Conky basically runs off the desktop. I have
Conky running from a custom ~/.conkyrc file on the desktop and use the
'Workspace Switcher' applet to view it (Note that the 'Show Desktop'
applet won't work as it minimizes the conky display as well), you can
have a look at this thread from Ubuntu Forums:

Has a number of .conkyrc files for customized Conky's, you may find
one to suit your needs. My current ~/.conkyrc is a modified one from
that thread.
