Yeah, they came out with 4 and 5 speeds, so it is available, 5 speeds are a bit dearer tho. All the 5 speed is, is actually a 4 speed with an extension housing between the box and the transfer case, the housing contains 5th and reverse, 5 speeds also have lower 1st gears. Overall they're about 135mm longer than the 4spd and transfer, so you will need different tailshafts.
Pretty sure v8patrol has put a 5spd where a 4spd was. I haven't personally, but have vehicles with both boxes, and pulled them out previously.

Also, not sure if it worries you or not but the 5spd from a non turbo diesel has lower 1st and reverse gears than the turbo diesel box, may be worth considering?
