Simple Answer:  No.  the i2004 uses the proprietary nortel UNISTIM 
protocol.  Asterisk uses SIP, IAX, SCCP, H.323, but not UNISTIM.

Complex answer:  It depends on how much you really want it.  There has 
been an open-sourced implementation of a UNITSTIM server done by Cedric 
Hans.  It is located at http://www.mlkj.net/UNISTIM/voi.tar.bz2 (Note: 
I have not tried it myself yet).  With some work it could be modified to 
provide a channel driver, but Cedric would have to disclaim his code in 
order for it to be entered in the Digium CVS.
