possible yes but it's a lot of work because the complete fallback

needs to be written for XeTeX which is available for MkIV since a while.
this is unlikely to happen (unless we add lots of optional code to mkii to
deal with xetex which then probably results in a lot of other code hooked
into other mechanisms as well) as mkii is kind of frozen
if we have to port all sophisticated (upcoming) mkiv features back to mkiv
we might wonder why we started with mkiv in the first place; the whole idea
is to have less (complex) code
not like that complicated (we do not need font fallback).
it is only something about:
save the current font style (like \ss, \it ,10pt) to a macro . then
apply the macro to a group.
for example
aa { \anotherfont bb}
we should save the style for aa when \anotherfont is called, and apply
that style to bb.
that should be enough. but we don't know how to get the font style.
see \pushcurrentfont
