Not really.  The existing support I added
to the docbook processing is designed
to handle equations produced by doxygen.
Generating it from inside quickbook is
a bit awkward.  You can do it using escaped
docbook like this:

'''<inlineequation>
<inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject role="html">
<imagedata fileref="images/normal.png"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject
role="tex">$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}e^{-\frac{\left(x-\mu\right)^2}{2\sigma^2}}$</textobject>
</inlinemediaobject>
</inlineequation>'''

The PNG image is still needed as a fallback.
Without it you'll end up with the raw
TeX if Javascript is disabled or the
MathJax server is inaccessible.
