Sorry, but absolutely not. The C64 uses software to emulate a 6551 ACIA and is incapable of any speeds above 4800 - 2400 with any reliability. If you want higher speed, you'll have to do what I have done and build an ACIA to plug into the cartridge port. (Mine is hooked to my Hazeltine, Hazel, so I can do VT emulations/imitations.)
