Not likely, since a Maine state registered domestic partnership is not "comprehensive" in that it only offers limited rights and responsibilities and is not substantially equivalent to marriage. The ACLU says: Comprehensive domestic partnerships, such as those from California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington, are also likely to be recognized as civil unions in Vermont, though this has not been conclusively determined.
