Probably not... I suppose that Prioblender thingie or one of the compilers might be able to be hacked with a PHP CLI binary to kind of do that, but a base PHP install doesn't ever actually store the opcodes anywhere in a compiled form as you are imagining. Even the various Caches only store opcode, and not machine code/binaries, so you still need the Zend Engine to rip through and execute them somewhere somehow, I think. Of course, you could use PHP to provide REST, SOAP, WebDAV, etc -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
