I'm convinced that I do NOT understand your question, but the most probable answer given my prior is "no". To get a more specific answer, please provide more detail about the problem you are trying to solve, preferably including a simple, self-contained example, e.g., the examples in the "lmer" and "lmer-class" help pages. If the CarCorr and vcov functions do not answer your questions, please explain why not, e.g. using for illustration a 'predict' example applied to lme {nlme} or glm.
I realize this does not answer your question, but I hope it gets you closer.
