No, because if nothing else we don't actually know what it's composed of. It's entirely possible that it will turn out to be a new family of particles, for example.

But more to the point, dark matter is certainly not made up of quarks and/or electrons (because it doesn't interact electromagnetically), so shoehorning it into a list of phases of "normal" matter is misleading at best, if not simply wrong.
