The short answer is no.
The long answer is, well, you can, but it would involve changing the SMF source code, which would be a whole lot of work. I looked for a mod to do it but couldn't find one. Apparently the avatar code is really old and messy as well so nobody wants to touch it.
Having said that, I think Lakitu is a little mistaken because you should be able to get the dimensions of an image without too much trouble using PHP or JavaScript scripting (plenty of examples on Google).
As for other software, I know that both PhpBB and MyBB support it, but to convert the forum in its current state *just* to support nonsquare avatars is pretty extreme.
Zetaboards supports it too (and actually has a great resize system) but you can't convert the forum to it, unfortunately, nor can you view the code for it.
