I highly doubt it. As we pointed out before, the movies that Netflix
stream are DRM-encrypted. And while it's possible for Netflix to enter
into NDA contracts with companies such as LG or Microsoft, they cannot
enter into such a contract with the MythTV developers.
That means the decryption keys for Netflix movies will never be
available to the MythTV developers and that even if an SDK was available
to them, they'd never be able to use it without those keys.
