No.

Rules state the kicker's plant foot may be beyond the line at the time of the kick. Should a holder of the ball be necessary, he may also be beyond the line. All other players must be inbounds and behind the line at the time of the kick.

The kicker can be called offside. His plant foot may cross the LOS but his kicking foot must stay behind the ball

Because the kicker will not be able to kick effectively if he has to keep his plant foot behind the football. His kicking foot will be on the upswing and he will hit the football too high.
