No. Django doesn't have any built in support for CGI, nor is it ever
likely to have such support.

The best you're going to be able to manage is to use a separate web
server to deploy both your Django app *and* your CGI script. As of
Django 1.4, Django ships with a WSGI script to make this slightly
easier to manage.
