Well, in software, you can do pretty much anything with enough
hacking, so it's definitely possible.
As for whether it will be done, well, what does PHP give you over
Perl? I know Perl well and PHP AFAICS is a tiny subset of Perl
designed to be embedded in web pages. Given PL/Perl, do we really
need PL/PHP?
If someone (you?) think's it's important it'll probably get written.
