Unfortunately no.  The A2620 is a synchronous accelerator; everything's 
based on a multiple of the Amiga system clocks, so you're fixed at
14.3 MHz.  The A2630, on the other hand, has CPU and memory based on
a private clock that has nothing to do with the Amiga system clocks.
While the shipped system is tuned for operation at 25MHz, there's no
designed-in requirement for 25MHz.
