You can include a JTextArea *within* the JOptionPane. Then you could have the JTextAreaAppender writing to a JTextArea that is displayed on the option pane. It takes a little fiddling to make it look right (scroll bars, etc), but it is possible.
The trick is that whenever a JOptionPane constructor (or factory method) calls for a "message", you can actually pass a Swing component to it. In your case, you would pass the JTextArea that the appender is associated with as the message parameter.

I don't believe JOptionPane does either. So, to answer your question directly, no.
