Not presently (as in 1.0.2). The Image Map datablock knows how to acquire frames based on parameters you specify. To my knowledge, the only "real" animation format that's commonly used is animated gif, which has palette restrictions. PNG is probably your best bet, using a series of images on a single image sheet.

Hmm, not sure why you wouldn't want to use a T2D animated sprite? :)
