No, mod_rewrite deals only with urls, not content.  The answer is
essentially the same as the answer to this question:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#footer
Although, if you are using 2.0, you can also see mod_ext_filter as another
option.

If you are handling any serious amount of requests, however, you will want
to do this as an apache module, rather than a cgi script or ext_filter
program.
