No.  I'm pretty sure versions have to increase.  However, you could
try *deleting* all the modules/distributions from CPAN, waiting until
it clears out of the 02packages file, and then re-uploading with all
2.003 VERSION strings.  That might work, or might not, but I don't
think you lose anything other than time by trying it.

Note that people with older versions installed might have trouble
upgrading without a forced installation of a particular distribution.
The most user-friendly thing to do is to bump up to NNN.0001 or
whatever.
