No, because NAT-like solutions to perpetuate v4 only handle the client side of the transaction. At some point there will not be any more v4 address to assign/allocate to content provider networks. They have seen the writing on the wall, and many of the largest (both by traffic and market share) have already moved to providing their content over v6.
Potentially another source of IPv4 addresses - every content network (/hosting provider/etc) that decides they don't want to give their customers IPv6 reachability is a future bankrupt ISP with a load of IPv4 to sell off :) - Mike
