Not really.

Cacti works by polling your devices (normally via SNMP) to obtain data a periodic intervals, and then rendering this data into charts.

Whilst Splunk 'can be made' to do this, its not out of the box functionality.

You could take a look at Splunk Stream
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1809/
This will allow you to capture statistics on traffic volumes which the stream process can see, but it can also be configured to receive net-flow etc traffic. If your network devices support these protocols this may be of some use, but again its not out of the box.

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
