There is some evidence to suggest that vitamin d supplementation can result in increased calcification of arteries:

It's far from conclusive, but there is a mechanism of action that makes some sense, so it wouldn't be out of left field if it were the case.

There's also some evidence that vitamin k can be used to help balance out the risk:

In general it's all in the "Potentially a thing, more research needed before we start a mass panic" bucket. I personally wouldn't go buy a bucket of "ULTRASUPPLEMENT 10000 IU VITAMIN D HORSE PILLS," though.
