No, it's not.  You can, however, chainload such a partition.

(Ram has been working on some of that support, however, I'm skeptical to 
it as it tends to lead down the Grub road of not handling dynamic 
systems properly.  I would be very interested in the usage case, i.e. 
why do you think you need this.)
