Increasingly, the answer is "yes"! Try

Unfortunately, it seems that the University of Southampton suffered a
devasting fire, which has apparently retarded the development of the very
promising Citebase search tool, but see
http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/8204/
The "abstract" page of arXiv eprints allows you to quickly see what papers
are cited by a given eprints, and for older eprints you can see what later
eprints cite that one you are interested in evaluating. Since the arXiv
is becoming the universal journal, this should be a good way to check for
citations after another decade or so. Long live the arXiv! (At least if
it can continue to maintain a -relatively- crankfree author field...)
