Yes, see https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/issues/1

It's still on my todo list somewhere, but without a personal need for
it it's easy to get pushed aside by other things. However, in Tiled
0.9 I added a staggered isometric renderer, and a hexagonal renderer
should not be too different from that one since it does the same kind
of staggering.

maq777's branch was merged with more recent versions of Tiled by
others, which may support the offset feature but I'm not sure. It
still has performance issues due to the way the rendering is
implemented, which is one reason why I didn't merge it.

Would you happen to know where to find one of those updated versions of maq777's branch?

So first of all there's his original fork based on 2 year old Tiled:

https://github.com/maq777/tiled

Then somebody took that version and merged Tiled 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 into it:

https://github.com/evant/tiled/branches/hex

And here's another version that was rebased on top of a more recent
version of Tiled:
