No. Possums eat vegetation, fruit, nectar and some varieties of possums eat insects. They cannot eat people, and will only ever bite in self-defence.
N.B. True possums, which are found in Australia and surrounding islands of Oceania, are quite different to the North American opossum, which tends to be more of a scavenger.

True possums are quite different to American opossums. It is illegal to hunt or kill them, let alone eat them in Australia. Although prolific, they are protected native animals.
However, the Brush-tailed possum has been introduced to New Zealand, where it has become an environmental pest. No doubt, if one chose to eat possum in New Zealand, one could do so quite legally.

Do possums eat cantaloupe?
Yes. Possums will normally eat small avocados, I have two avocado trees in my backyard; and I can see the small avocados dissapearing from the trees. I have also seen possums at night at the driveway of my house. My yard-keeper showed me a path in the lawn by the fence where they walk at night; he agrees that the possums are the ones eating the small avocados.
