No, MediaWiki pages are only for displaying HTML, which is simply what the user sees on the page. Why would you need to protect new user pages? If it's a vandalism problem, you can contact the Volunteer Spam Task Force and they can intervene if the situation warrants (they will undo obvious vandalism without permission, but they need community permission in order to do major cleanup operations)
