Not really. The PNG format is in the last stages of being accepted
as an international standard, and is therefore not being changed.
Addition of EXIF data would come, if at all, in a future version.

There is some level of extensibility built into PNG; it's possible
to register new chunk types, and textually-encoded data can already
be associated with an image.  But even if these mechanisms prove
sufficient (which is possible), until an encoding of EXIF data is
commonly accepted you can't really say EXIF is supported by PNG.
