You can add engine wear but the reading on the odometer will not change since the sensor for the odometer is located at the output end of the transmission or transaxle, and therefore only gives a reading when the vehicle is moving (or when the wheels are spinning, if you are on ice or up on a hoist).
So, no, you will not add mileage by idling.
