No, this isn't currently possible.  I did ponder this for a while, but my 
conclusion was that the effort required to do so would far outweigh any benefit 
you'd gain from it.

Cisco has been moving to SIP for a very long time.  There aren't any phone 
features that Asterisk could emulate that would make this any better than SIP 
(or even anything approaching parity).
