No.

I guess it would be possible to design an IPC that had a similar
api, but the root of the issue is that you need to use sockets/pipes
to communicate between processes (while you might use a shared
memory slab for the actual data, thats just a detail).

BTW I think there is IPC in gnome, you might look into dbus, I'm not
exactly sure what IPC is the one to use in gnome right now...
