Nope. The Terminal doesn't allow mixing of tabs at different elevation levels, because that's a potential attack vector. There's more discussion in #146, #632, #4217, and more specifically #632 (comment).

I can't stop you from running a utility like gsudo, but you should know that is a potential vulnerability, which is why this feature is not a part of the Terminal by default.
