No, OPCODE doesn't do that. ODE also doesn't do that. Continuous collision is 
a hard problem to solve...

Easy solutions to try:
. decrease timestep.
. make larger bodies :)
. make slower bodies :)
. you could explicitly use some swept-geoms for some things. Eg. a fast 
travelling bullet might use a ray segment, a cylinder or capsule (ccylinder) 
for collision so that it covers the path travelled during timestep.
