No, the original edition was open-sourced separately:
https://github.com/TTimo/doom3.gpl

TTimo points to https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3 as an active fork of
that one.

Helpfully, the authors of dhewm3 list md5sums in
https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/wiki/FAQ, so it might be possible to
have g-d-p support without actually owning a copy ourselves (although
IMO the actual package stanza should be commented-out in the YAML until
we have an engine at least ITP'd, and someone has tested it).

For dhewm3 I'd suggest using package names doom3-data,
doom3-resurrection-data, doom3-demo-data; for the BFG edition I'd
suggest doom3-bfg-data. I think it'd be OK to put them both in
doom3.yaml though.

Explaining that Doom 3 and Doom 3 BFG are not compatible in the
generated package's description is probably a good idea.
