No, but coal wouldn't work the same way as an instrument for political pressure the same way as pipeline-supplied gas does right now. Store enough for a few months and get coal shipped from elsewhere, same infrastructure etc. Buy someone else's shipments if need be, like with LNG currently, lots of poorer places are going to receive less than what they bought because Germany and the EU pay just about anything right now.
