No. This paper describes tests on a B-747, C-17, and MD-11 using propulsion
only:

http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/DTRS/1999/PDF/H-2331.pdf

Differential thrust (per side) induces a sideslip -> induces roll.

Changes in thrust (thrust line offset from CG in Z) induces pitch changes as
well as accel/decel.

Etc.

Again, this is something that the JSBSim FCS components could handle - you
need building blocks.
