Yes, but it requires a little stylesheet customization.
You can add this small template:

<xsl:template match="book" mode="for-menu-title">
  <xsl:text>PLplot</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

(I haven't yet tested this myself, I'll try to do when I get back home
this weekend.)

In all likelihood, I will also just make it the default, in the next
version of docbook2X, to use the "abbreviated" titles for the
directory entry.
