No, see prior discussion on the debian-gis list:

Ok, thanks for the reference.
If you need MPI netcdf, use netcdf-parallel:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/netcdf-parallel
That makes sense.
What I'm really looking for is the parallel support in the python
module, python3-netcdf4, so I filed this bug against the wrong package.
Multiple builds of the python package might be a bit trickier to manage.
It was done for h5py, with some effort.
Like netcdf, I'm not willing to maintain MPI support in netcdf4-python.
Ideally netcdf upstream support building both serial and parallel
variants of the library, and having both installed.
Library users can then choose which is best for their use case.
This is something upstream needs to support. As long as we need to
choose one or the other for the package in Debian, we will choose the
serial variant as the lowest common denominator. This also has the bonus
of not having to bother choosing an MPI implementation.
Kind Regards,
Bas
