Nope.

Two things I'm sure sport mode does:
1. Downshifts for you
2. Uses up more gas
If you simply knock the gear shift to the left, you are in sport mode and it will shift for you. It holds the gears longer (higher RPM) and I am pretty sure that 3rd gear is as far as it will go.

It would generally consume more fuel than standard mode.

Now, if you knock the gear shift to the left to put in sport mode, you can manually shift through the gears by pushing forward or pulling backward on the the gear shift.

From my experience, putting the X in sport mode and manually shifting the gears will give the fastest acceleration.
