No.  A tide locked planet (tide locked through the north
pole, say) would present the north pole to the primary at
all times.  A planet which is (as Tom puts it) "end on"
would present the north pole in the same direction all the
time, but in reference to the universe at large, not the
primary (in the same way the Earth's pole always points
towards Polaris).
