I believe the answer to this is no, unless someone has been working on this in secret. Might be a useful project for someone.
On the other hand, FFI (the Foreign Function Interface) may be sufficient for calling arbitrary C/C++ libraries from Squeak. See http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1414
(I've used SWIG before with Tcl and Python (see http://www.swig.org), but I haven't really played with FFI in Squeak much. Is FFI basically equivalent to SWIG?)
