Not quite. A template language more analogous to FBML is in the works but won't be ready before 0.9 of the OpenSocial specification is ready.
The REST API will enable you to build web pages that run outside of orkut but still have access to your orkut friends, can post orkut updates, and so forth, just as the JavaScript-based apps that run inside of orkut can today. This is much closer than the markup language and a PHP client library should be available in the not-too- distant future.
