I wouldn't think so. There's a massive amount of synergy that's lost by comparison to an Undead Deathknight via summoned unit upgrades (and superior, earlier magical research). The Plaguelords have also got better spells to leech for, such as those in the Healing sphere. The Plaguelord Deathknight is good for spreading disease and it is a reasonable class to pick, but it just isn't nearly as strong as other Plaguelord options and the Undead tend to do better with the Deathknight.
