Short answer: no. The only OSs that IBM supports IPLing on an IFL are Linux and zVM. But even under either of these, IBM will not license you a version of CICS that will run on an IFL. Whether you can run your own COBOL programs on one, I don't know. Probably IBM will not license the COBOL run time (LE) to run there. You might be able to use a very old public-domain COBOL compiler, but then it wouldn't talk to the CICS that you can't run anyway. So really, no.
