Yes, it is possible. It's a little bit arcane, though: you'll have to set the javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory service to the full classname of your parser factory implementation class. You can set the service by creating a META-INF/services directory in your classpath (may be in a jar file) and create a file with the name "javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory" and with the aforementioned class name as the only content. There may be other ways, ask a local guru. I'm not sure whether crimson comes already with a parser factory implementation, ask a local guru. Check your crimson distribition whether the precompiled jar already contains such a file in the META-INF/services directory, if so, you'll only need to put this jar into the classpath instead of the Xerces jar. Be sure to place it before the Xalan and the FOP jar.
