I don't think so:

,---- http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html ----
| GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2
| 
| Please note that GPLv2 is, by itself, not compatible with GPLv3.
| However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the
| terms of later versions of the GPL as well.  When this is the case,
| you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination.
| 
|
| GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 3
| 
| This is the latest version of the LGPL: a free software license, but
| not a strong copyleft license, because it permits linking with
| non-free modules.  It is compatible with GPLv3.  We recommend it for
| special circumstances only.
| 
| Please note that LGPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv2 by itself.
| However, most software released under GPLv2 allows you to use the
| terms of later versions of the GPL as well.  When this is the case,
| you can use the code under GPLv3 to make the desired combination.
