Not really. Considering that the Martian atmosphere is something like 0.5% of the thickness of earth's, while the gravity is only lower by a little over 60%, it would take so much energy that it's really not possible with our current energy budget for spacecraft.
However, blimps or even zeppelins would be damn near ideal because of low gravity. Simpler and cheaper, too.
