Very unlikely.
But some bluetooth devices can tell you the signal level of any peer. 
With that, you could aproximate the distance.
Would be interesting if our device can do this.

The first option would at least work in any case. One could make hint 
location based subsystem by detecting certain stationary bluetooth devices.
Deamons that trigger events when a bloetooth device comes in range have 
already been implemented.
