Yes, very much so. It's been done a number of times.

Have a look at the OM and EEL toolkits:


    http://www.research.compaq.com/wrl/projects/om/om.html
    http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~larus/eel.html


Both provide a high-level interface for analyzing and modifying
executable code. OM is for the Alpha and EEL for the SPARC,
but I'm sure the ideas and overall architecture could be applied to
other processors as well.


Have fun,
