If Starship succeeds (which is what we're assuming in these discussions here anyway) then no, not even close. Crew Dragon + Starship transfer vehicle and lander would probably come in at a tenth the cost.
Nevermind that the SLS programme assumes that Starship will succeed, otherwise they literally have no lander. So if SLS is to accomplish its goals it'll do so only in a world where it's obsolete.
