A crescendo can be brought out by a harpsichord, however it is a more abrupt change of dynamics than in a piano.
Simple answer: no. Although the first indication of a crescendo appears during the Renaissance, what was used in the Baroque period is, for the most part, terraced dynamics, or an abrupt change from one dynamic to another. This was mostly because of the harpsichord, which did not have the ability to gradually change dynamic. The use of crescendo didn't become popular until the mid to late 1700s, in part because of the "Mannheim Crescendo," used by the Mannheim school of composers. The Mannheim Crescendo was a novel concept, and applied the use of gradual dynamics to an entire orchestra.
