Not usually: Despite emphasis on hemophilia and royal families, rasputin's influence depended on common relatives among english/russian royalty. The well-known hemophilias are x-linked, passed through normal women with 2 xs to men with one. Inbreeding increases chances for matching up of rare, autosomal recessive mutations in spouses (e.g., cystic fibrosis, tay-sach's diseases).

No: Both common forms of hemophilia are single-gene, X-linked recessives; transmitted by Mom -- Dad's sons will be unaffected, daughters carriers. Inbreeding brings out autosomal recessives instead, shared by cousins. This is very basic biology. This being said, marrying a close relative is a VERY bad idea for this reason.
