Only in an ugly way. You can transform a hexagonal board to an orthogonal one by shearing. The 6-fold-neighbor topology of the hex board then is achieved by arbitrarily declaring only one of the diagonals as neighbors. You can use a background image to display sheared hexagons to make it moreobvious what borders on what:
