No. But some SysVr4 users reported that they could use FAS with the help of certain SysVr3 compatibility functions that are still in the kernel but are not guaranteed to be in future releases of SysVr4. On the other hand, I got reports from some people that FAS doesn't work under SysVr4 (kernel panics and the like). I don't know whether these contradicting statements are caused by differences between the SysVr4 versions (they were from different vendors), or by differences in kernel hacking experience. In the mean time I'm still waiting for my Dell SysVr4 copy. I'll start working on a port to STREAMS as soon as I get the tape.
