Yes/no.  You have to place it in the .vmx of the VM and converts the
machine to EFI rather than BIOS boot.  Nothing PXE specific.

The option is exposed in the GUI with the vSphere Client, even when
connecting to VMware Workstation and managing shared VMs.  The
universal caveat of the vSphere Client can't edit settings on a
VMHW-v10 (aka VMX-10) VM still applies.  I just did this on a VMHWv9
VM that I cloned from a VMHWv10 VM then downgraded its VMHW to v9.
