In general, the answer is no.

However, there was something that allowed this...a long time ago. It's an "epcs_virtual_memory" SOPC Builder component...see attached. It's not designed to work with the latest version of tools, and I did not design it, but it might prove useful to you...or someone else.

There's a PDF manual describing how to use it included in the ZIP archive.
