Naah, I don't think so. Here's a quote from an article in my newspaper
(http://www.haagschecourant.nl/presentatie/page/0,1416,3_15_-2____72154,00.h
tml):

<<
Hoewel de schepping van Walt Disney overduidelijk inspiratiebron is geweest
voor 'Overal is Duckstad' vermijden de samenstellers zorgvuldig elke
verwijzing naar Donald, Dagobert, de neefjes en Katrien.
Een tentoonstelling maken over de échte inwoners van Duckstad zou handen vol
geld kosten. 
>>

In English:

<<
Though Walt Disney's creation was clearly the source of inspiration for
"Duckburg is Everywhere", the creators carefully avoid any reference to
Donald, Scrooge, the nephews and Daisy. Making an exhibit about the *real*
inhabitants of Duckburg would cost loads of money.

This matches what I remember having seen in Hoorn.

> They were big
> official yellow road signs with the text "Duckstad" 
> (="Duckburg") and an arrow. Pretty cool. ;o)

Indeed!
