Nope. Well, not in the general sense. I quite like the idea of having one-off weird-language contests, but I doubt we'll be adding any more "popular" languages.
The next step are challenges where you get scored on your output as well as your code size. For example, imagine a Towers of Hanoi challenge - You'll be scored on the number of moves your code requires to complete the puzzle as well as the code size itself. Having this as an option opens a whole bunch of challenges we can't currently support (meaningfully, anyway.)
Of course, any thoughts from you golfers out there are welcome!

odd language lovers can try http://www.spoj.pl
their judge software supports about 40 languages. only a handful of their problems (out of hundreds) are golf though.

I havnt been here for a while as I got stuck on SPOJ. But will come back sooner or later to complete the remaining challenges.
What I find a pity is that only 4 languages are supported. I think i would be quite fun to play codegolf in Haskell or Ocaml.

Well, you could always play over at golf.shinh.org instead, both Ocaml and Haskell are supported there.
