For many years now, the answer has always been no. But for an definitive answer, you'll need to wait to here from an Admin.

It would be part of converting our base classes to Pathfinder base classes. So you can look at how Pathfinder ranger does it (admittedly not every feat there is viable for BG, but it gives a rough idea).

Wow! Converting base classes to Pathfinder versions! That sounds incredible. Is there general ETA for this?

There is not. It's rather low priority compared to other updates we need to do.
