Yes.

You can process the mouse movement event, convert to tree coordinates to 
get the item underneath and then use wxTipWindow to show the tip. Make 
sure you use wxTipWindow::SetBoundingRect around the tree item so that 
it disappears when you move the mouse away.

I used this approach in FlameRobin to show tooltips while mouse is 
hovering over links in wxHtmlWindow, but I guess it can be used with 
wxTree in the same way.
