My guess is no.... from man 5 crontab

EXTENSIONS
These special time specification "nicknames" which replace the 5 initial
time and date fields, and are prefixed with the '@' character, are sup�
ported:
@reboot : Run once after reboot.
@yearly : Run once a year, ie. "0 0 1 1 *".
@annually : Run once a year, ie. "0 0 1 1 *".
@monthly : Run once a month, ie. "0 0 1 * *".
@weekly : Run once a week, ie. "0 0 * * 0".
@daily : Run once a day, ie. "0 0 * * *".
@hourly : Run once an hour, ie. "0 * * * *".

I'm sure you could put such a line in. Doubtless it would run the
"monthly" command (no such animal I expect, and woe to you if there
were!) after a reboot.

What, precisely, do you want it to mean?

Reboot once a month?
Once a month, but only after a reboot?
After a reboot, but only if it has been at least a month since the last
one?

They can probably all be done (not exactly as typed). You'd need to test
some state yourself.
