Altering the missions themselves to do so? No.
Putting it in as an arena option? That could be fun.
Edit:
Alternately, if you could flag it perhaps - I just think it might be a mess behind the scenes to do so other than in an arena setting.

This.
I'd made a suggestion that there could be PvP zones made after the Safeguard zones. The idea... I don't think it picked up too much.
I wouldn't use it myself. But I wouldn't object to seeing it has an option for those who did want it, especially since the missions are instanced.
I would much rather have MA serve as the medium for PvP content. You could pick any map you want (Maybe even create custom maps someday), set the requirements (You need to defend the vault against attackers), and have a team who wants to go.
Similar to base raids - but without the hassle of having the prestige to make a raidable base. Plus base raiding has a single objective with multiple avenues to get there. I think custom PvP mission would be nice to have a multiple objectives for a win. (Like a villain team wants to kidnap the mayor or And rob a bank - you need to decide how you are going to defend both)
PvP MA missions? Ooooooh. That would be neat!
I'm not much on PvP, but THIS I would go for.
Especially since my wife primarily plays Villains while I tend to stick to the heroic side of things.

This was what I thought City of Villains and City of Heroes PvP would have been like and have often hoped for. I can't get into PvP without a motivation like this.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I had an idea very similar to this and just never posted it!
Maybe have a mission(or PvP Arena) where a Hero is tasked with preventing a museum robbery. At the same time, a Villain is tasked with stealing a rare artifact from the same museum. The result is a PvP battle between the Hero and the Villain.
If the Hero wins, the Villain is carted off to the Zig.
If the Villain wins, he/she gets away with the artifact.
An interesting, but unfortunately, unlikely idea.

TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

Interesting idea.
Right up until that squishy hero bumps into a Dominator.
Or, inversely, that Dom runs into a Tank. In a tiny, single corridor hallway.

Castle said that he and his team are working on capture-the-flag style minigames for the arena. This would be an AWESOME idea for that. Hopefully, it's already on the list. If not: HEY CASLTE!!! LOOK OVER HERE!!!
As to the original idea, keep your PVP out of my PVE content. Doubly so if I have to wait for someone to PVP me just so that I can enter my PVE mission.
@Roderick
Wouldnt it be interesting if Safeguard and Mayhem missions were combined into a single mission? There has to be times that a Hero is doing a Safeguard mission and at the same time a Villian is doing the same Mayhem mission. Wouldnt it be interesting if they encountered each other in the bank? I am sure you can envision the possibilities.
Probably not practical but if it could be done it would add a little more excitement to these otherwise dull missions.
