Given his highly reclusive and anti-social behavior, I personally doubt that. Considering what he likely went through while imprisoned in Mordor, I believe he simply desires to be in a position where he is no longer feeling threatened by powerful foes. If I may be allowed this comparison, he would be, to a certain degree, a sort of Master of his his own limited environment that Bombadil is, although neither have, arguably, any servants.
