It is possible. I wrote a carbon backend which runs fine - sadly, i got 
a complete source tree crash before commiting the
port into cvs. I have relaunched the port.
Sorry to say, currently i'm very busy with other tasks and the current
source is in heavy development stage ... but if you'd like to have
sneak preview on the source tree

svn://neoscientists.org/rgl/trunk

you'll find the new stub of a future carbon port in src/osxgui.cpp -
the svn server is currently in beta-testing stage (its not the official 
one, but will become the new home)

Don't expect to find a complete carbon implementation - there is only 
the event-looping stuff , keyboard/mouse and dragging has not been 
(re)-written again.

Daniel
