Not really.  The TCP/IP stack is written for the 65C816 and won't work on
the 65C02 of the IIc.  Apple seems to have, at one ponit, wanted to add
AppleTalk to the IIc, but never followed through.  The serial ports on the
IIc can't generate the proper signals for AT.

The only option is to roll your own TCP/IP stack for the 65C02, but I don't
know what it will buy you.
