Jared, Cyril,

Definitely not.  Below is from Chapter 5 ("Making Backups
and Copies with Recovery Manager") of "Oracle8i Recovery
Manager User's Guide and Reference"

"You must define a backup and restore strategy for files
that RMAN does not support. Examples include initialization
files, password files, network configuration files, external
procedure files, and external LOB files (BFILEs)."
