Well, not really. UV unwrapping doesn't (normally) care to preserve the 
shape of the individual faces, which is deadly for unfolding paper 
models. There's the "Unfold Mesh" script (now included in the Blender 
distro) which is doing what you might want, but I wrote a new unfolding 
script more suited to my needs. 
You might find it and some additional scripts here:
