Not presently. One easy way to compartmentalize the main staff page would be to override the template (archive-staff.php) with your theme, and then build up different queries in your custom copy of that template to segment by taxonomy.
It’s actually pretty easy! You just need to set up a quick loop…
Here is the very simplified version:
<?php
query_posts('post_type=staff && department=YOURDEPARTMENTHERE');
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
// echo the staff member's values that you want displayed
endwhile;
?>
Just swap out YOURDEPARTMENTHERE with the department you want to target. Here’s an example from my project, each run through the loops spits out a division (for easy styling) which contains the specific staff members name, picture, and an excerpt of their bio:
<?php
query_posts('post_type=staff&&department=a');
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
echo '<div class="staff">';
echo '<h3><a href="';
the_permalink();
echo '">';
the_title();
echo '</a></h3>';
the_post_thumbnail ( 'medium', array ('class' => 'alignleft') );
the_excerpt();
echo '</div>';
endwhile;
?>
I hope this helps you!!
That’s a good example, nateweller. I want to expound on it a bit and would recommend using WP_Query() instead of query_posts() — such as:

This example uses the default Staffer markup, but your markup may vary. Just replace the department name with your own.
With the new shortcode support, listings can be displayed by department inherently:
