No, it's not. It doesn't seem like there's an off-the-shelf way to go from
raster (PDF or TIFF) to vector (Gerber), though, or at least nothing jumps
out from Google. In principle it would be easy to load a raster and write
it out as a set of lines in Gerber format.

Actually I have a vague recollection that one of the board houses charged
extra for "very large Gerber files caused by rasterized plots".
