Not really. The thing is, you're not so much stockpiling kinetic energy as you are using the mass of the body to amplify the force you apply. There is an optimal time to apply that force, which is when you are closest to the body you are orbiting.
So what may happen is if you have a low-thrust engine, you will do a burn at the optimal time, then stop and wait an orbit until you reach the optimal time again. But you're not "stockpiling" anything so much as you are just thrusting at the optimal time. And once you reach escape velocity you have to keep thrusting, there is no more opportunity to do another pass.
