Not that I am aware of.  There are boundary layer bleed grids on the walls of the intake near the front, just after the ramp areas, and there used to be some boundary layer bleed doors on the front top surfaces above the inlet lip to increase this boundary layer bleed flow under high AOA conditions, but these were found to be unnecessary and were eliminated on the production aircraft.   The bypass doors, located in the middle of the duct, only function is to increase inlet flow when needed for inlet stability.
