⭕ heyaa..!!
Not in the same way and probably not with water, assuming it to be exposed to what passes for the Moon's "atmosphere". However, it's possible that a solid would very slowly creep up a tube by capillary action. However, it would take years before it was noticeable and the process whereby it was taking place would be different than in a siphon.
hope it helps..!!

Only if you, your siphon tube, and your source of liquid were all located within a pressurized vessel, WHICH you would HAVE to be in order for ANY LIQUID TO EXIST.
Siphons do not work exclusively because of gravity, siphons also rely on background pressure. If you have cavitation of your fluid within the siphon tube, it ceases to work properly.
In the open pico-atmopshere/fempto-atmosphere of the moon, it is impossible for any liquid to exist, and even if liquid did exist...there wouldn't be any significant background air pressure to push the liquid up over the top of the siphon tube, and your trick wouldn't work.
