Yes, it is possible. The biggest issue would be selecting an ifIndex for those
instances. The regular interfaces get their ifIndex from the kernel, so you
can't always just pick the next value and use it. While it would work in some
environments, in others you would run into conflicts when the kernel uses the
same ifIndex (e.g. in Linux ppp connections result in a new interface and new
ifIndex).

Yes. Just be careful about selecting ifIndexes.
