unfortunately no...
as stated at http://dlang.org/cpp_interface.html to support C/C++
source would be practically unimplementable note I say
practically because while theoretically it is possible, the D
community has neither the resources nor the time to implement
such a feature.
If you look around D.announce I seem to remember someone hacked
up LLVM and clang to allow such interface.
