No. Best way to do this is put it in a script, download that script as
part of the build, and run that.

For example, I would like define a function on the master and be able to pass that function to a buildstep to be executed on the slave. The code would not ever exist on the slave except when it is executed. I imagine the code would be pickled over to the slave, executed and then results pickled back. I guess buildbot is doing this already, but the capability is not exposed? The alternative seems to be SetProperty steps. One use case we have is that we want to have a random number generated each time a build step executes so that it can be passed to a test suite.
