Nope, including the lost Bitcoins they will be all 21 million.
To be more accurate:
The exact number of bitcoins (including the lost ones) will be 20999999.9769

So, nobody can have access to their lost Bitcoin. Satoshi once said that lost Bitcoin should be considered a donation for the growth of the technology.
Satoshi never said that the lost bitcoins will help the growth of thechnology. Satoshi said that "Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more." and that means that it makes the price grow, not the technology.
