Yes but not at the same frequence as HP-UX patches( 3-4 times a year?)... But mostly to take account of new hardware, the others ( less regular..) being to correct security issues or possible driver/HW malfunction...
I havent seen many firmware patches given to users like that, I had them and was allowed by HP, but not my colleagues...
You need HP support and usually they come and do the firmware update, unless its something critical and accessible to your technicians then you get full documentation from HP to apply...

splitdns323fw
SPLITDNS323FW(1) User Commands SPLITDNS323FW(1)
NAME
splitdns323fw - extract data from DNS-323 (and other) firmware images
SYNOPSIS
splitdns323fw [-k KERNEL] [-i INITRD] [-d DEFAULTS] firmwarefile
DESCRIPTION
splitdns323fw parses an existing firmware image for a device such as the D-Link DNS-323, DNS-321, and Conceptronics CH3SNAS.
By default, if only the firmwarefile (R)option is given, the script verifies the checksums of the included components and prints a bunch of
useful info about the image. If you specify one or more of the other options, however, the corresponding section of the firmware image
will be written to that file.
-k kernel, --kernel=kernel
Write the kernel part of the firmware image to the specified file.
-i initrd, --initrd=initrd
Write the initrd part of the firmware image to the specified file.
-d defaults.tar.gz, --defaults=defaults.tar.gz
Write the defaults part of the firmware image to the specified file.
BUGS
E-mail bug reports to theshed+dns323-firmware-tools@hezmatt.org. I don't guarantee to be able to help, but I'll give it a shot. Patches
are far more helpful.
