I think it should be possible. Did you actually set the state of the skydome to include transparency (simply adding an Alpha texture doesn't do it, if I recall). Also, skydome is often set to render FIRST in the scene, and transparent objects need to go into the transparent bin so they are Z-sorted and rendered last in the scene. In this case, you might want to have your skydome not sorted (a dome has no intersecting geometry to required this) and have it render right after whatever you use to define the sky background color.
