With DRM, no. Education about the dangers of DRM is a growing part of calibre. See
http://drmfree.calibre-ebook.com/.
DRM systems such as Mobipocket, eReader and Adobe's EPUB DRM all need to be licensed from the respective companies that implement them. You're not going to see them allowing their technology in an open source project. You're also going to run into cost prohibitive licensing fees.
