Give me a freely available font specification for MicroType, without
patent restrictions, and I will have a look. Otherwise, the answer is
a simple `no'.
If you want compressed fonts I suggest that you have a look at the
WOFF format developed by the Firefox people:

This format seems to have a chance to be supported by many parties.
