Unfortunatly, no, it isn't... :-(
It might be possible to add it to the MSX slot's, there are some reserved
pins.
However, just adding a wire from the ^BUSRQ signal to one of these pins
isn't
enough... It is relatively simple to control the direction of the databus.
By means
of busdir. But all the one-direction address drivers have to be replaced by
bi-directional ones.
If someone really makes a new MSX, DMA would be one of the things I would
like to see.

Now I come to another thing, on the R800, there seem to be some DMA control
lines. Anyone knows how to use these?
There are also 6 (?) interrupt pins, how does this work?
And on the S1990, there are pins for high density select/detection (I am at
university
now, so I don't have the turbo-R manual here) Anyone knows on what registers
these
signals are located?
