Not without code changes, but why bother.

The user passwords may not be as 'valuable' but what is the problem with 
both admins and members using https for their respective web GUIs.

Surely, all the work in using https is usually in setting up the server. 
Having done that, and unless you plan on using client side certificates, it 
is a non-issue for the actual members unless they are using some fairly 
unusual web browsers. Then again, maybe you have some problem with 
transparent proxies if you use https which only afflicts members and not 
admins??
