In a word, no. Call me hard-hearted, but I was completely on Sam's side during that whole "Three's Company" episode in TTT where they're traveling with Gollum. It was hard to shake that off even after realizing how Frodo's (and Bilbo's) pity saved everyone's life in the end. But no, Gollum had been around far longer than was natural and living for (or dying with) his Precious seems to have been the only fate that he wanted for himself. If he had been alive afterwards it couldn't have been for long, and he would have been even more miserable - if such a thing were possible - until he died.
