Not as far as I know. There have been discussions about increasing the support of Markdown, but so far the conclusion has been that it's too hard to do -- the support is not stable enough on all the platforms where R runs. Markdown is allowed for vignettes (because the package author processes those), so I'd suggest putting your news into a vignette instead of a news file. Put in a token news file that points to the vignette so users can find it.
