Yes but it is very difficult to tie them on, they don't bend so 
Well and especially when you want to cut the end with an open flame, it
could be very dangerous for your lute!( you better use other devices like a
soldering iron).
At the other hand it's very logical to use the same material as that of your
strings, as you say it doesn't wear out like gut frets.

. much better than funky threats!

though i've never tried it myself, i suspect that
nylgut might be excellent material for frets - more
dense, more durable and more likely to retain their
roundness.
