I'm not totally sure I understand your question. But if you are asking if it's possible to use the clinical-trained OpenNLP models released with cTAKES without using UIMA, yes, it should be possible. Some of the cTAKES modules simply wrap OpenNLP APIs, and convert the POS-tagged/Chunked/Parsed output into the UIMA typesystem.
Or are you asking if you can write a UIMA annotator that consumes OpenNLP annotations rather than cTAKES' UIMA-based annotations? That is possible too, though would definitely add complexity to a UIMA pipeline.
