Not yet. However you can use a combination of
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter,
and org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserAdapter so that you can work with SAX 2.
You'll notice on the status/to-do page of our website
(http://castor.exolab.org/status.html#Marshalling-Framework) That we
have our own XML event API which we will use instead of SAX 1 + SAX 2,
however both SAX 1 and SAX 2 will be supported. By having our own API we
can control the API, prevent deprecation issues, and have only the
features that we need. SAX 2 has too many ways to handle namespaces, SAX
1 is a good API, but it's been deprecated by David Megginson. SAX 1
lacks direct namespace support but I didn't feel that was a big issue
since it's easy enough to write the namespace handling code on top of
SAX 1.

This is one of the features preventing us from releasing 0.9.4. So it is
a planned feature of 0.9.4.
