Quite possibly. Although I am inclined to think that as long as it is  
supported in XUL, any XUL-based applications will support it by  
default. It just won't be a standard event.

Anyway, what I have done and which seems to work on limited testing  
so far is this:

jQuery.fn.paste = function(callback) {
     return this.each(function() {
         if ( this.addEventListener ) {
             this.addEventListener('input', callback, false);
         }
     }).bind('paste', callback);
}
