No, AFAIK FSDV folders cannot have special properties right now. Other 
items such as FSFiles, FSPageTemplates etc can by using a .metadata 
file.

Just recently I was faced with the same problem, I wanted to have a 
title showing for a FSFolder. I coded around that by associating the 
property using a .metadata file for the default document in the folder 
and changing some code that wanted to display the title to look at the 
default document title instead.
