Nope. As they appear after the Grand Campaign begins.
i wouldnt be suprised if a mod did appear for it; just like there are mods for the emmergent factions in BI. Give it time my friend.
Unless it hardcoded in, then you're screwed! :P
the regnum dei mod and i bet several other mods made the mongols, timurids and aztecs playable in the grand campaign.
You can of sorts see a entry by faction heir who has a mod for this as part of his set up. I am unable to post his link. You might also find it in the mod section

I was going to release a similar mod for M2, however CA have made it so staggeringly easy that no modding is required!
Here's what to do:
Have a look in your Medieval II Total War folder and you'll see a file called medieval2.preference.cfg - right click on this file and go to Edit and the file will open in Notepad.
Add the following three lines to the [multiplayer] section (which were originally posted here):
[multiplayer]
playable = true
hotseat_turns = true
hotseat_scroll = false
Then start a campaign as normal and select England (remember to deselect any other factions additionally highlighted).
Launch the campaign and bring down the M2 console by pressing the ' key.
Type in:
control mongols
or
control timurids
depending on which you want to play as. Then type in:
control england
The game will then autopilot you (warning this may take a while) to the appearance of your chosen faction and give you control of them."

If you play as Mongols in Kingdoms, are the settlements and other gameplay aspects the same as the vanilla game?
What I mean is that are the normal factions still there or are you playing against tuetonics, crusaders, etc.
5 settlements/missions/family tree and so on just no victory conditions so no FMV at the end, oh you are a part of the teutonic map so just the teutonic factions AFAIK
