No, the whole point of SSL is that it is not vulnerable to MITM attacks, because the client carries anchor keys.

If you're connecting to a website that looks the same, but the URL is slightly different, it won't help. What's more, the URL doesn't have to be different for the entire user's session.

If you want to call that a "man in the middle attack", I won't argue, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a UI problem.
