No, from prelink/doc/prelink.tex

As has been mentioned earlier, prelink cannot speed up loading shared
libraries using dlopen, since it cannot predict in which order and what
shared libraries will be loaded (and thus cannot compute conflict
fixups).

To be honest the java stuff is really an edge-case in OOo performance,
and I don't think anyone has looked into it very seriously.
