No. Phillip Pullman very cleverly includes a line near the end of the book which goes somewhere along the lines of,
'And even when Will was 60 years old, that is how he would still picture Lyra,'
This is pretty much concrete evidence that Phillip Pullman does not intend to reunite them even in the new trilogy of the 'Book of Dust'.
However, I know that some people are hoping for a epilogue in the final book, which reunites them in death before they walk through the window that they made together in the world of the death.
However, I don't believe Pullman will do this. I love the characters very much and I cried for days after the ending, but they were only about 13, 14 at the end and still have an entire life ahead of them. So though it is sad and we all wish they could have lived 'happily ever after', to answer your question, it is very very unlikely and I don't believe we will ever see a Will and Lyra reunite.
