AFAIK no, but you can define two timeperiods the same such as

define timeperiod {
       timeperiod_name 24x7
       timeperiod_alias        Whenever, it's important!
       sunday  00:00-24:00
       monday  00:00-24:00
       tuesday 00:00-24:00
       wednesday       00:00-24:00
       thursday        00:00-24:00
       friday  00:00-24:00
       saturday        00:00-24:00
}
define timeperiod {
       timeperiod_name anytime
       timeperiod_alias        Whenever, it's important!
       sunday  00:00-24:00
       monday  00:00-24:00
       tuesday 00:00-24:00
       wednesday       00:00-24:00
       thursday        00:00-24:00
       friday  00:00-24:00
       saturday        00:00-24:00
}

Although what would this achieve?  Why not just use the one?
