Yes, see the closure compiler
(http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/ClosureCompiler).  It does not
convert existing methods, instead both compilers live together with a
preference indicating which one to use.  Of course one can recompile
methods if desired.  Marcus Denker has added parts of the closure
compiler into 3.7, so it is in a state of flux so I don't think the
package loads correctly in 3.7.  But it does load into 3.6.

I believe so.  And it worked fine for me.
