Not since June 1, 2013 (unless you booked your flight already before that). See here:

Or if you happen to already have a Diners Club card, you can transfer Club Rewards points to IcelandAir Saga. (But Diners Club US is still not accepting new applications for personal cards, so this is not a route open to anyone who hasn't already had this card for years.)

However, given the Saga award chart in a post above, whether that's even worth it (should it be possible for you) is a separate question.
