Well the first step would be to get a client app that behaved like a file system to do stuff like directory listings, read files, write files, etc. You'll need to write that in a language that can access the MacFUSE libraries (I'm a C person, being a Mac obviously Obj-C is an option). The main idea is that you build the client independent of the file system so that you can test the client first before you try and debug a file system.
Once you've got a reasonable handle on the client, the next step is to build the file system. Effectively this comes down to looking at the list of FUSE callbacks and providing what it wants. Reading the man pages for the equivalent calls from user space go a long way to understanding how things should behave. You're probably familiar with the usual cases but in implementing a file system there will be however reading through the possible error codes to ensure that you return something consistent and logical is useful. So yes its possible, thats roughly how I'd approach it and good luck!
