Not the way the Advisory Service for Squatters uses the term, and
neither by dictionary.com, but then `squatter' is not a legal term of
art, and no-one has a monopoly on its meaning.

from dictionary.com: 
        squat V. intr. 
        3.  To settle on unoccupied land
            without legal claim.
