Short version: no.  (For one thing Apple will chase you with a C&D order :-)

Even when gdk-pixbuf is used by GTK themes X doesn't allow translucency
between windows which is what I assume you'r talking about with Aqua. Untill
the point that X is rewritten to support alpha between windows all alpha
effects will be hacks (ala Eterm).
