Not without some pretty serious reworking.  Which might need to happen.

Of course basic text layout would also not be available without some 
serious reworking (e.g. making the textrun cache threadsafe or creating 
per-thread textrun caches or something), so the question of web fonts is 
somewhat academic at the moment.
