No, unless you're willing (and capable!) of hacking the Emacs display
code.  Not too long ago someone else wanted one-step scrolling but
they wanted it in a shell buffer, which isn't what you asked for.

The only use that I can think of for the type of one-step scrolling
you want is searching for a particular point in a file.  That can be
accomplished much easier and faster with a fixed string or regular
expression search.
