Yes. It is highly likely. 70%. He has the same jacket, and was being talked to by Ryuk about Light's life.
One can assume that you lose your memories at death (or when you lose the death note Ryuk no doubt has) and so Light has no memory of life.
Ryuk says "You were not a god." The imperfect tense implies "not a god... yet."
Last reason: it is a much more satisfying ending. If the director put out a new cut, why not one that could be interpreted this way (isn't that that worst thing... an ending left to your own interpretation... drives me up the wall).
Also there is the fact that the author said at a MangaCon that it would be obvious which Shinigami Light was in the Directors cut...
He does become a Shinigami, as seen in Death Note Directors Cut and also at the end of the anime, since the Shinigami threw old Ryuk and apple and was wearing the same jacket Light was when he died.
Ok im gonna freak out, LIGHT NEVER AND WILL NEVER BE A SHINIGAMI
For a Shinigami to give a human the shinigami eyes (so that they can see humans names) the person must give up half of the number of years they have left to live to the Shinigami. Mikami did just that so that he could assist 'God' (a.k.a. (Kira, Light)). yeah but how does he get them like did he have his own shinigami or something because im cluless Mikami traded the shinigami eyes with Ryuk.
If your asking if Kira becomes the next Shinigami King, then no. Light AKA Kira goes to nothing-ness after he dies.
Ryuk said in Death Note that any human using the Death Note cannot go to Heaven nor Hell. The human is sent to Mu instead. Mu is Japanese for Nothingness. In the epilogue, we see a new shinigami in the Shinigami Realm. There are several reasons to believe that is Light Yagami as a shinigami (thus making Mu the Shinigami Realm) but there is no firm proof.

I believe that in Death Note: Light manipulates Rem (misa's shinigami) into killing L. After L dies Ryuk (Light's shinigami) kills Light.

Yes near the end light does get ryuk back.

In Death Note, Light is killed by his shinigami (Death God) Ryuk after Light manipulated Rem (Misa's shinigami) into killing L. When you turn it off ; hmmm ...........
A shinigami can only die if they do not write names in their death note for a long enough period of time or if they break shinigami rules for which the punishment is death. One such rule is that a shinigami may not willfully extend a human's life. Through careful plotting, if you can identify what human the shinigami loves (if any) you can put that person in a position where he/she is endangered so that the shinigami will want to save them. Light killed Rem this way, by convincing her that killing L and Watari would extend Misa's life.
at first it was a really complicated math problem for Light but then Tsugumi Ohba just came up with random numbers ^^
L's name was written in Rem's notebook and Light's name was written in Ryuk's
He went to the Shinigami world after Light told him to get rid of the death note, but he returned after Light memory's back
