It is possible _provided that_ your syntax script has two syntax groups,
assigned to alternate lines. (The default syntax scripts for most
languages don't do that).
I have an owncoded syntax/text.vim (quoted below) which does that for
text files, but it isn't perfect, on two counts:
- blank lines count as neither "odd" nor "even" and after them, the
count is reset;
- the default highlights for cterm are awful; you better use an owncoded
colorscheme if you want to use this in Console mode.

Also, there is no filetype detection of "text" by default (my
~/.vim/after/filetype.vim corrects that) and the vimrc_example.vim sets
'textwidth' to 78 for text files (my vimrc removes that autocommand).

"Well, zayda, it's sort of like this. Einstein says that if
you're having your teeth drilled without Novocain, a minute seems like
an hour. But if you're sitting with a beautiful woman on your lap, an
hour seems like a minute."
The old man considers this profound bit of thinking for a
moment and says, "And from this he makes a living?"
