Don't think so - but you could change the login options to 'Name and Password' instead of 'List of Users'. Haven't done it, but I think that way there are no accounts actually shown on the login page.

Check this out:
macosxhints.com - Create completely hidden accounts in 10.5 and 10.4.11
Note, the article/hint is for 10.5, but I don't believe a lot of the user management stuff changed in SL so the process should be the same.

Your are correct, if you switch the login screen to this, only a name and password field are displayed. It won't show a list actual accounts on the computer.
