Not currently.

Why don't you use the HTTP collector instead?  Do the pre-chewing on  
the managed system from a cron job or a persistent daemon process,  
then write it to a text file and serve it up using Apache or lighttpd  
or whatever else you like.  Then use the HTTP collector in OpenNMS to  
pull the text file apart with a regex and persist the collected data.
