Nope. From the docs for Marshal.to_channel:
If flags contains Marshal.Closures, functional values will be
marshaled as a position in the code of the program. In this case, the
output of marshaling can only be read back in processes that run
exactly the same program, with exactly the same compiled code. (This
is checked at un-marshaling time, using an MD5 digest of the code
transmitted along with the code position.)
