Under BY-SA, no.

Under the FDL, yes.

Welcome to the whacky world of incompatible but equally valid  
interpretations of American copyright law by different licence authors.

Hopefully CC & the FSF will resolve this at some point. And hopefully  
they will resolve BY-SA/FDL interoperability, which I have more hope  
for since the FSF released the SFDL draft. Once the FSF get the AGPL  
out they should be back onto the FDL revision and we can start  
hassling them about this.
