YES !!! ;-)

ozone (http://www.ozone-db.org) is an *object-oriented database*, so
you can store any Java-objects you like. The ozone implementation
of TM4J is exactly the same as the transient part with some ozone
compatiblity features. There is also the ozoneXML project that 
stores to DOM to provide an XML database, but IHMO it is the wrong
way to store topicmaps as DOM. 

BTW: There is an interesting discussion regarding this topic at
infoloom.
