Highly unlikely. However, I do think we will see a slight accretion of power as the Monster Manuals go along; I'd anticipate a Level 35 Lolth in MM3 and something Level 36 in the MM4...Asmodeus perhaps?
I think a 4E Deities & Demigods may happen at some stage down the line, though what format that will take is unknown. The 3E book was terrible, but I think a lot of that was down to the 3E system having too many working parts at epic levels; the deities being too high level; all the deities feeling the same; no use of epic rules either.

Which would be okay by me because I am producing such a book*.
*Or rather a series of books (fingers crossed).
I think that type of book would primarily be for the epic tier crowd, but I do like how easy statblocks in 4E are, so designing a whole hierarchy of priests, interesting followers and Exarchs is fairly straightforward. I think the Orcus and Demogorgon entries in the Monster Manuals have been great and that would be a format I would adopt for how to treat deities as well.
