Nah, I don't think so. 

$ info info

gives the following piece of information :

The stand-alone info reader is in the package texinfo (at least, on
Gentoo). In the package, the README file for info(1) has the following
snippet :

So it is *not* Emacs, but try to be consistent with its user interface.
Moreover, if you grep(1) `Emacs' in the code source of info, there's only
the index tables that contains an EMACS_TAG and some reference to the
bindings.
