Yes, if you look at org.apache.soap.transport.SOAPTransport, then the implementations in the http and smtp packages, you should get a clear picture of how to write the client transport.
Virtually all the server software is based on providers running in a J2EE Web container. Support for SMTP on the server is accomplished by the org.apache.soap.server.SMTP2HTTPBridge class. This is basically a POP3 client that polls for messages, forwards them to an HTTP-based SOAP server, then sends the responses back using SMTP. This model would be the easiest to follow for other non-HTTP protocols. These comments relate to Apache SOAP, however, not Axis. I am not familiar with the Axis source, so it may be that there are provisions for more direct support of other transports on the server.
