Yes. You can sort of deduce this from the help page. So if you look at 
the help for mt.maxT you can see that the help for the classlabel 
argument states that

'The observations are ordered by block, and within each block,
  they are labeled using the integers 0 to k-1. '

In addition, there is an example

# Permutation adjusted p-values for maxT procedure with paired t-statistics
classlabel<-rep(c(0,1),19)
mt.maxT(smallgd,classlabel,test="pairt")

Best,

Jim
