No, but you can fake it ;-)

I'm taking a wild guess here that you're interested in this subject
because of distributed shared memory. That is, you're interested in
smaller page sizes because you want to be aware of changes done to
memory structures in sizes smaller then a page.

If so, you might want to check out how the Millipede system from the
Technion works - it basically creates several "views" of a page using
segmentation and other MMU features which creates artifical locality of
memory structures on the same page in units smaller then a hardware
page.

Hope this helps,
Gilad.
