Theme independent, no. But in the theme you can easily create a block region that you place above the header in the page template.
If you're trying to have a module insert a control bar of some kind, look at SimpleMenu. I'm not sure how it works, but it does insert a Javascripty menu that sits at the very top of the page.
Cheers.

Hi List,
I'm a looking for a way to insert a block on top of the header. This block will contain text links, a background image and the search form field. Is there a theme independent module that can help me build this?
Any hint or pointer is appreciated.
