Yes.  Preallocate your array using,
    Matrix x(m,n);
You can then populate it directly using
    double *xp = x.fortran_vec();
    memcpy(xp,d,sizeof(*xp)*m*n);

You can usually eliminate the copy
altogether by passing xp to whatever
fills it (e.g., read), but you can't do it
if the library you are using returns you
an array that it allocates.
