Yes, but that was a few VMD versions ago. The procedure is a bit
lengthy but simple:

1) Install the same Python version as in VMD separately on your
computer.
2) Install MMTK plus prerequisities.
3) Copy or link the site-packages folder to the VMD Python installation.

However, the utility of this is limited because VMD does not permit
passing in a molecule via the Python interface. The only source for
molecular data is a PDB file.
