No, not really. "How come?" is an idiom. You can't change it and have it sound natural.

I think that you will occasionally see "How comes it that ..." instead of "How come ..." in older texts. I don't think anybody uses "How comes it that ..." much anymore these days.

How come the water is green? Usual modern English.

How comes it that the water is green? Older form not used much now.
