It can, but in a subtle way. When the tension is changed on the neck from adjustment of the truss rod interacting with the string tension, it can slightly alter the resonant frequency. On a well made multi-piece neck, like Ken's, where the resonance or dead notes are not an issue, it won't be noticable, but on less expensive one piece necks that tend to have a dead note somewhere, like the 8th fret of the G string, juggling string tension and truss rod tension can sometimes bring a little life back to the dead note.
