It is not. All OSPF routers in an area *must* have a consistent view of the area's database in order to carry out the SPF algorithm; filtering announcements in the same way as BGP is incompatible with this. Any filtering within an area would need to be done between receving routes via OSPF and installing them in the kernel route table (RIB), i.e. OSPF would still have the routes but not install some of them to the kernel routing table - filtering would be local to the router only. This is possible with some other OSPF implementations but I didn't hear of any plans for doing this in ospfd. http://blog.ine.com/2009/08/17/ospf-route-filtering-demystified/ has a bit more (but cisco-centric) information on this.
