By definition, no. If you mean in terms of size, if you fit that many stars into an area that small, they would implode into a black hole, or explode. If you mean by weight, definately not. Stars need to be massive to support the fusion it takes to emit that much energy.
Even if it were possible for millions of stars to occupy our solar system, it would defy our laws of physics so much that they would probably come up with a new name for it.

I read all the answers already written, and originally I agreed with them. But on second thought I have to say that the answer is "possibly".
Consider that the Oort cloud extends about 3 light years from the sun, so our entire solar system is about 6 light years across.
Scientists are finding all kinds of dwarf galaxies and low-surface-luminosity galaxies, so its possible (though not probable) that one day they will find a very small galaxy that would fit into the larger view of our solar system (if we include the Oort Cloud as part of the system).

Of Course.....On the movie Men in Black it is said...."The Galaxy is on Orions Belt" Orion is a cat........On a more serious note Most likely not since a Galaxy contains Billions of Stars and other space matter. Our solar system contains a lot less than that. Also due to the size of the majority of stars known to man it would be immpossible for a galaxy to be smaller than the solar system.

Even a dwarf galaxy would be many millions of times larger than the solar system!

No our solar system is small in comparsion to any galaxy.
From smallest to largest. (proven)

Not a chance. Unless you can get someone to rewrite the laws of physics.
