It's possible, but it depends on what Beth does with the lore. I personally sort of doubt it, but there just isn't a whole lot on the subject at the moment. The only notable "dragonborn" is Tiber Septim, and it's never really made clear if that's meant as a description or just as a title. In either case, in the earlier versions of the lore, "dragonborn" was just a name attached to Tiber Septim. Then it was expanded out to anyone of his bloodline (eg. Martin) for Oblivion. It might still be limited to his bloodline (though that would complicate things), but I think it's more likely that "dragonborn" is going to be treated more as an exceedingly rare trait or as a fated thing, sort of like being the Nerevarine in Morrowind, rather than as a matter of heritage, just so that anybody (that is, any character a player might play) can and will be "dragonborn."
