Probably not. It would be terribly insecure for them to store your password in plaintext. Secure sites (hopefully Yahoo) hash passwords so that it's only possible to tell whether a password is correct, not what the password is. Read my answer here for more information about hashes:

Only if you remember what the e-mail address you used to sign up for yahoo mail was.
For example, I have a yahoo mail, gmail, & hotmail. When I signed up for yahoo mail, I already had a hotmail/msn account. I used that e-mail to create my yahoo mail. Now, if I forget my yahoo password, it e-mails it to my hotmail account.
So, if you signed up using another e-mail address as a backup, you should be able to recover your password.
If not, then your only option is to change it.
