In a word, no.

This kind of functionality is provided by the tkdnd extension, but that 
package only works on X11 and Windows; its developer, Georgios Petasis, 
does not use Macs, and no one has tried to port it to Tk-Aqua. It's a 
C-based extension and would probably build on the Carbon Drag Manager.

This is something that many people have asked for, but those who want it 
most generally don't have the C-level chops to port it to Aqua (this 
includes myself), and those who have the skills generally don't have the 
time or the interest to do so, because they may not have any need for it.
