Inherent port-spanning, no.  You can bridge the ports, but your port will be
"pruned" after it (the router acting as a bridge) learns the connect Mac

STP is a layer 2 only function and in general it is configured only on
switches.  It can be configured on a router if the router is configured to
act as a transparent bridge.  More info can be found on Cisco's web site
