Not really,

If they're using the CGI version of PHP (instead of the Apache
extension), you can use a subset of the php.ini in your directory. But
unless they have no concerns about security (or don't understand
security), you won't be able to put all the possible options in it. And
what they allow or disallow varies from one host to another.

And if you do have all options available I'd switch hosts - FAST.
