Unfortunately no: the weights in -bsample- are just an
alternative way of creating the bootstrap sample: if an
observation is not selected it will get a weight 0, if it
is selected once it gets a weight 1, if it is selected
twice it gets a weight 2, etc.

How to do that is tough. You could take a look at the
talk by Stas Kolenikov at the Summer Stata Users' meeting
last year: http://ideas.repec.org/p/boc/nsug08/19.html .
Hope this helps,
