No, it is not. This package violates AUR submission guidelines [a]:

"
The submitted PKGBUILDs must not build applications already in any of the 
official binary repositories under any circumstances. Check the official 
package database for the package. If any version of it exists, do not submit 
the package. If the official package is out-of-date, flag it as such. If the 
official package is broken or is lacking a feature, then please file a bug 
report.
"
