Not exactly, but we are pretty close to that and it should be a small effort (I 
would say ~4 hours 
work for someone familiar with the referencing module implementation) to get 
there.

* We support spherical stuff at the interface level (in GeoAPI):
   
http://geoapi.sourceforge.net/snapshot/javadoc/org/opengis/referencing/cs/SphericalCS.html

* Geotools can creates GeocentricCRS instances with either a SphericalCS or a 
3D-CartesianCS.
   I will call that GeocentricCRS[SphericalCS] and GeocentricCRS[SphericalCS] 
in the discussion
   below.

* Geotools already support coordinate operations involving 
GeocentricCRS[CartesianCS].
   This is supported for example in Geographic <--> Geocentric[Cartesian] 
conversions.

* The main missing piece I can see is a
   GeocentricCRS[CartesianCS] <--> GeocentricCRS[SphericalCS] MathTransform 
implementation.
   Since the cartesian <--> spherical formulas are very well known and rather 
simple, such
   implementation should be trivial to write (using an existing MathTransform 
implementation
   as a template).

* The most tricky task is to update CoordinateOperationFactory once the above 
MathTransform
   is available. I would take care of this work.

        Martin.
