Not built-in to Tkinter, but you can easily get such behaviour using 
lambda like so:

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> def click(which):
...     print which, 'was clicked!'
>>> button1 = Button(text='Button 1',command=lambda: click('number 1'))
>>> button2 = Button(text='Button 2',command=lambda: click('number 2'))
>>> button1.pack()
>>> button2.pack()

lambda: will wrap the call to click() up in a function.  You can call
click() with any arguments this way; instead of strings, you could use
integers or a reference to the object itself (though you'd have to set
command after creating the button to do this).
