It could, but most of the ones I have seen with frozen u-joints will re-act funny at the steering wheel. They are hard to turn or don't want to re-center after a turn.
This is something that everyone with a straight axle 4x4 should check once in a while. A stiff axle can beat up several other parts. It can be hard on the inner axle bearing, but the part that really takes a beating is the lock-out hub.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
