Not without hacking into the Django admin code.

If it's sufficient to create a profile without user intervention, you
can hook onto Django's "post_save" signal. In other words, Django can
be asked to call your custom Python function whenever a User.save() is
completed. The code goes something like this:
from django.contrib.auth import models
def user_created(sender, instance):
# create profile for user instance here
dispatcher.connect(user_created, sender=models.User,
signal=signals.post_save)
Basically, you add this code to one of your applications' __init__.py
(or project's __init__.py) or anywhere else where it's guaranteed to
load when the application is started.
See more about signals here: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Signals
If you need the user profile to also be filled up with user entered
data, you will need to create your own user creation view that
redirects to a profile creation view, etc.
