I don't believe so. You probably need something like:

http://cdemu.sourceforge.net

which incidentally does work quite well but you'll need to go through the pain of building it yourself. There is also an iSCSI hack which lets you create a virtual optical device and even share that as a block device over the network being iSCSI. You can even burn DVDs to it, with the end result being an ISO, but for all intents and purposes it appears to be a physical optical device. I seem to remember its scsi-target-utils and you'll probably also want iscsi-initiator-utils to use it. Both of which are in Fedora.
