Yes, I believe you can accomplish most, if not all, of the goals of REST using SOAP. The single major bone of contention remaining would be the use of custom vs standard interfaces. Personally I do not see a big problem using custom interfaces, so I don't think that's a roadblock.

Remember, SOAP is only a very simple envelope around an XML business message. And still, nothing stops you from still putting (duplicating) certain addressing and other technical information in the business message within the SOAP:Body (as quite a few XML message standards do e.g. OAG, RosettaNet a.o.).
