Nope. That's a modern pronunciation, not the Old Norse way. (Destiny)
It's not often a good way to go about things. For example, in modern Greek, delta is pronounced with an eth sound, like thelta. Because languages evolve and change, their words evolve and change. They really are two different languages, and since Gjallarhorn is a specific thing, mentioned only in Old Norse, modern Scandinavian languages use it as a borrowing as well, but are more liberal in their pronunciations, like we are with, for example, Grendel and Beowulf. However, under no circumstances should a Dane pronounce Beowulf Beeohwolf, but bayohwulf.
It would be like that were we to use modern pronunciations of ancient words.
