Considering that there is a C example for writing a FUSE VFS ( 
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/fuse/index.php?title=Hello_World ) 
the answer is yes.
We also already have a FUSE unit in packages and it seems to be ready 
for FUSE 2.6 at least. For more modern versions (e.g. 2.8) the unit 
needs to be recompiled (and for 2.9 it might need to be updated).
