In principle, yes. As far as I'm aware,  Mathcad 15 converts a worksheet into something called the Mathcad Programming Language, which, looking at it, is a functional programming language similar to Haskell, and as there are translators for such languages, it should be possible to develop one for Mathcad.

However, in practice, the answer to your question is a resounding NO (unless you want to write your own!).

Unfortunately, no.

When Mathsoft (Mathcad's original developers) first announced the use of MPL (Mathcad Programming Language), I dropped my normal British reserve and got quite excited about the possibilities of using MPL directly to add functionality and even have it as a scripting language.   However, despite several requests nothing ever became of further publicizing MPL, which is a shame as it would have given Mathcad a good deal more flexibility (eg, typed data, monads, proper handling of tail recursion, pattern matching ...). 

I don't even know whether Prime uses MPL ... I can't see an mpl folder in the Prime file structure, although the prolog and lisp folders are still there; there are some dlls starting with mpl, though.
