Sort of. The problem is that there is not really such a thing as trust to a key: it's trust to a user ID. So people actually get different trust values for each different user ID on their key. A free-form user ID can certainly be signed, and certainly carries trust, but is not generally used by programs (which like email addresses), so it doesn't really help you.
