Short answer: no.

Longer answer: D state is used when the process suspends waiting for
an event which "has to" occur, typically something like a completion
interrupt from a device (hence the 'D'). When the completion event
doesn't occur, there's no way for the kernel to clean up. Reboot is
the only thing you can do.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1475683/linux-process-states
and lots of other places (Google for 'D state').
