Technically, yes, but not without code modifications.

The total page count is known by MHonArc (how else would the last page
link work?). The $NUMOFPAGES$ resource variable gives you the
page count.
The problem is representing the "Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 [.....] N" structure
via the resource model. A resource variable can be created to print
out such a list of links, however, if customization of the text is
desired, things can get more complicated.
