I don't think so.  As Mats said, MIDI output hasn't been a priority.

If you want to eliminate a conversion step, you could make a script
like

#!/bin/sh
lilypond $1.ly
timidity -Ov $1.midi
open $1.pdf &
open $1.ogg


(assuming your system recognizes the "open" command -- OSX
does, but I'm not certain about other OS)
