Seeing as it is hinted at that the heroes in TES are placed there by some sort of 'Divine Intervention' it could be possible. Whether or not the Dragonborn is the direct reincarnation is unknown but there is definately some sort of link. It would be more likely he's a reincarnation of the spirit of Talan and/or the neverine.
