The simple answer is no. Unfortunately, the inner mechanics of IDL doesn't
allow you to do this. You have to do something like this

d_name = make_array(glob.ndims, /STRING)
d_size = make_array(glob.ndims, /LONG)
ncdf_diminq, cdfid, i, temp_name, temp_size
d_name(i) = temp_name
d_size(i) = temp_size

(assuming that the last two parameters of ncdf_diminq are output parameters.
