Sure.  For example, you can use Python's usual string interpolation:

    g('set output "filename-%d.png"' % (file_number))

You might also want to check out the hardcopy() method, which
automatically does the "set term", "set output", etc.:

    g.hardcopy(
        filename=('filename-%d.png' % file_number),
        terminal='png',
        )

See the file "termdefs.py" to see what terminal types are already defined.
