No, because "the console" can be your ordinary Linux console or over the network or over a serial line. You could look up the control character which clears terminals and plain simply emit that (and the output device should behave accordingly) but I won't do that in any case because I don't see any reason why one wants to hide kernel messages coming out on a/the console - most of them indicate pretty serious errors (or situations) and the last thing one wants is to hide them.
