Almost certainly not. Even if the Earth had in fact formed at that time, which it might not have, it is unlikely that there were either sufficient amounts of water or sufficiently cold temperatures at the surface to allow glaciers to form.

I thought the first glaciation period (that we know about) was about 2.5 or 2 billion years ago.
There is some speculation that plant life is necessary to start ice ages, by producing free oxygen.

No, the earth was hotter than hell at that time. Everything was either a liquid or gas at that time...including the rocks that make up the present day crust!
