No; WCF contracts are interface based, and static methods don't relate
to interfaces.

Not only that, but depending on the instantiation method for the service
at the address with the particular binding, even though you are working with
an object proxy, you might effectively be making static calls (as there will
be no state stored between calls).

Remember, static (in the way you, the OP, are thinking) is a distinctly
OO concept, something which does not translate directly to services in
distributed systems.
