No they can't. Look at a *ist-D compared to an MX or even a MZ series camera, notice how thick the body is front to back, there's a lot space required for the sensor and electronics that a roll of film doesn't need. There wouldn't be room in a classic Auto 110 body. Nor is there any space for the battery, you'd need to have the /motor/ /drive/ mounted at all times.

They could just put a 4/3s sensor in a 110 body.  Then they rerelease
the lenses with new coatings.

A Pentax  mirrorless camera system based on a 4/3 sensor would make sense, 
being it different enough from their SLR line and not as silly as the I10. A 
clever move indeed. Naah... too clever for Pentax, I don't believe it's going 
to happen.
After all, just read all those other silly K-rumors, none of which happened.
