No. Not really. But in the book they go into a lot more detail about Ned researching the blood line and finding instances of other pairings between Lannisters and Bartheons.

In Ned's own family it's clear that most of the kids (besides Arya and Jon) look more like Cat then him, at least in the books it is. Casting choices make that a little less clear in the series.

In fact it stresses in the book that Arya is more like Jon then she is like the rest of her siblings, a fact that probably contributes to why her story goes the way it does as opposed to the way Sansa's does (or Robb or Bran's).
