Certainly. I think it's mainly that nobody ever took the time to write the necessary interfaces. Like Jon suggests, MUMPS would be one option. SuperLU also can work in parallel. It would be worthwhile checking if PETSc or Trilinos have other distributed parallel solvers they can interface with. Let us know if you want to take a stab at implementing such interfaces and we'd be happy to help you in case of questions!
