It would be possible, although I don't think Regex in JS and PHP are exactly the same, simple constructs should be close enough.
However, there are already heaps of very powerful JS validation librarys around that are proven. The best IMHO being http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ (although I am biased towards jquery) The basics approach would be to pass your validation rules to the view and then have the view setup the JS validation based on your php validation rules. This would be best acheived with a helper. With 1.2, a new validation construct has been implemented that is not a pure regex based approach, you can use member methods as well, which will make this idea really hard to implement.
