Not that I could figure out.  I think you'd need to do something like
this:

    SET magic char(3)

    MSG one[magic]two

And then:

    remind -k'my_perl_script %s'

and have your Perl script do the necessary munging and feeding to
xmessage.  This is left as an exercise.

(Before you try it... the "obvious" solution using char(10) does not
work, alas.)
