Yes. Here are two ways to resize frames incrementally:

* Commands `shrink-frame', `shrink-frame-horizontally', `enlarge-frame', and
`enlarge-frame-horizontally', in library frame-cmds.el. I bind these to `C-M-' +
arrow keys: `C-M-up', `C-M-left', `C-M-down', and `C-M-right', respectively. (I
bind the same keys, but without the `C-' prefix, to the frame movement commands
in the same library.)

* Commands `doremi-frame-height' and `doremi-frame-width', in library
doremi-frm.el. After you invoke either of these, you can use the
up/down/left/right arrow keys, or the mouse wheel, to adjust the frame size.
