I don't believe so:
$ emacs22 -Q -batch -eval '(message (locate-library "tramp"))' -eval
'(require (quote tramp))' -eval '(message tramp-version)'
/usr/share/emacs/22.1/lisp/net/tramp.elc
2.0.55

I guess I'm mis-diagnosing the problem. Calling sudo by hand with the
same arguments results in a warning
$ sudo -u root -s -p Password:
Password:
bash: /home/twb/.bashrc: Permission denied
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop#
because /home is a root_squash'd NFS filesystem and the nobody user
does not have read access to my dotfiles
$ stat -L ~/.bashrc

I forgot to mention in the original report that the last message is
"tramp: Setting shell prompt"
