Not really. Casey Hudson has stated they'll all be returning, and delegating everyone to cameos would cost more than having them as full-fledged squadmates since VAs are paid by project, not hours.
I think I'll go add that to the OP now.

Seconded.
April Issue of Game Informer, interview with Casey Hudson
Q: Certain party members from the first game can be recruited in Mass
Effect 2. Does that mean we'll see characters from this game make a
return in ME3?
A: You will definitely be able to see characters from
ME2 in ME3, as long as they're alive in the end of your story. It's a
challenge for sure, but it's also going to be a huge payoff for players
of the Mass Effect trilogy to see what happens with all these
characters and storylines started by the first two games.
