Not at the moment, but it's on the todo list.  It may not make it into
the next released version as we're nearing feature freeze, but it's
*definitely* a goal.

One possibility you might try (inconvenient though it'll be) is
maintaining a parallel set of books for a little while until you can
determine whether GnuCash is suitable, maybe doing a partial export
from Quicken and using GnuCash's QIF importer to import the new data
when you wish to update.
