Essentially not. Without \makeatletter, TeX only sees a command 
\me with a `@' ahead and some letters following. You could define 
\me to collect the `@' and the following "letters" and then call 
\csname ...\endcsname internally, i.e., you create a macro that 
mimicks/varies TeX's tokenizing, e.g., using \ifcat or so 
(ahm, niceverb in my nicetext bundle does similar tricks, 
 i.e., may provide "templates" for this purpose).

Cheers,
