I doubt it. For one the Ryu seem to be associated with water, just like the Dragon is associated with fire and the Wurm with earth. Likewise While the Dragon is based upon western dragons, the Ryu seems to be based upon eastern dragons, who are not associated with breathing fire, but instead with godly powers.

Also, If I'm correct, the Hadōken is not fire, but rather an attack that uses ki/qi/chi, aka life energy, not flames. And the fact that both are named "Ryu" doesn't mean anything, as Ryu is japanese for "dragon".
