No, symlinks are represented as files, not as properties.

Size would be a serious problem. Of course, as somebody else mentioned,
xattrs aren't meant to be very large in the first place, so I can't see
how resource forks could be reasonably mapped to xattrs.
(With NTFS on Windows, you'd represent the resource fork as a real file
data stream. But that's neither here nor there.)
