Conceptually, yes. After all, the entire system is packaged as binary libraries, and J provides simple facilities for calling into other libraries (and for being called from other libraries...).
That said, you would be breaking new ground here, parts of it would not be easy, and likely you would encounter occasional on-going version drift issues. You might also need to dip into C and/or emacs lisp for some issues. Also, getting it working for yourself would be just the first step. Once you had it functioning well, there would be the realm of getting it to deploy efficiently for other people (assuming you wanted to go there).
