No. The hardware just isn't there. The best way for basic serial transfer
is to install a mini Din8, or if you only need RS232, a mini Din5, and make
up the cable.
Daniel Padilla's page here http://dev.newtontalk.net/~dpadilla/minidin.htm
made this soo much easier for me (still difficult and fiddly though).
