Short answer: no.
Long answer: The npm FAQ says that node_modules is hardcoded into the core of node's module loading mechanism, so alas.
Useful (probably) answer: if we are talking about the front, then you can install devDependencies via npm, and dependencies via bower.
Honest answer: what for? You don't have to manually manage the node_modules folder anyway. And in package.json it is quite separated.
