No, many times if the guitar is vibrating heavily, the resonance steals energy from the the string shortening the sustain. And I know you're asking honestly! I think in a good instrument you can find a good balance of resonance to sustain. That said, a set of lightly microphonic pickups can pickup the resonance of a guitar, and give it a more woody tone. That's why a lot of people with resonant guitars prefer un-potted PAF style pickups, as potting in a pickup, hinders the ability of the pickup to sense the body vibrations.

Sustain
Sustain really shines with a slide. Although you can make sustain with electronics as previously mentioned. A rosewood or ebony fretboard and a mahogany body seem to be magic with a slide!
Seem to get more resonance with a maple board and alder body.
