No. Compatibility mode does its best to mimic not only the execution but the addressing, and so it would only use 32-bit addresses.

And, Larry, it looks as if Win8 will in fact retain compatibility, which only makes sense to me given the huge installed XP base. (Pretty much everyone I know who used Vista has either gone on to Win7 or went back to WinXP.)
