No, unfortunately not (without a lot of customization). Perhaps running a virtualization product and a separate server in there with MySQL 5.1+ would do the trick as well.

I did not say it is impossible, I say it is a very tedious job to work it in properly and you are most likely in over your head. I do not expect that any of us give you a step by step guide and since you needed to ask I think you lack the expertise to work it all out.
