Sure!

    # Add ROSPatterns to convert << to [: and >> to :] in input text
    $ROSPatterns['/<</'] = '[:';
    $ROSPatterns['/>>/'] = ':]';

Or, you could just go ahead and store pages with the <<directive>> markup,
and do the conversion when the page is being displayed:

    # Convert << and >> to [: and :] at beginning of page translation
    # (but after [=...=] and [@...@] markup).   
    Markup('<<','>[=','/&lt;&lt;/','[:');
    Markup('>>','>[=','/&gt;&gt;/',':]');
