Hopefully, yes... but soon? Not likely. Blizzard has pretty much stated that D3 won't be ready this year. The character art may be near its final state, but there are significant portions of the game they haven't even started yet (itemization is one example, game balancing is another...).

And I think consensus and common sense leads us to the probability that the fifth class will be some form of bow user (at least as a build option, with bow skills). Each of the previous Diablo games had one, and it is a major archetype for the genre... No archer would be a significant departure and I doubt that Blizz would open themselves up for such criticism. BTW, the D3 monk is very similar in play style to the D2 assassin so I think it's safe to say the fifth won't be anything like that.
