No. The only similarity between a kangaroo and an opossum is the fact that they are both marsupials. This means they are both pouched mammals.
However, the kangaroo belongs to the family Diprotodontia and the family Macropodidae, while opossums belong to the order Didelphimorphia and the family Didelphidae.
