I don't know of a tweak to use png vice jpg.

As a workaround you might want to use the tweak epub feature to explode the epub. Replace the the cover.jpg with cover.png. Use a editor like Notepad++ to edit the content.opf and the titlepage.xhtml files to reflect the png vice jpg. Then rebuild the file.

Good Luck.
