WFS is a geographic data retrival system, similar to an XML database (in that it returns XML documents that have a fixed structure, defined by a schema).
I guess your question is similar to "is it possible to implement business logic into a database". I guess that with triggers and stored procedures you can if you want. Transaction listeners in GeoServer bear some resemblance to triggers, you can code them in Java (but soon in Python and other languages as well). WPS processes could be thought as the equivalent of stored procedures. Does this answer your question? It may be easier to help if we knew more about your specific needs.
