Not that I know of ... that would be great feature.  However, there are 
some packages out there that do a decent job at this.

potrace does an amazing job in converting b&w content
http://potrace.sourceforge.net/

autotrace does a good job with color content
http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/

There is also a commercial package that I know about, but have never 
used called Vector Eye

If you would like to use potrace and autotrace side-by-side there is 
Java client interface called delineate
http://delineate.sourceforge.net/

Hope this helps...
