Theoretically yes. In fact I may even have somewhere a Oauth 1.0 server. The problem is that the Oauth 2.0 specs are very poor. They specify how a the client asks the server if a user is authenticated but do not say anything about what information the server should provide to the client (user name? email?). This means a client written for one server will only work with that server and vice versa. The facebook Oath 2.0 follows its own rules. You can build a client that works with it. You can build a server that mimics them but there is very little in the Oauth 2.0 spects that tells you how to. Moreover your app is unlikely to provide the same services as facebook and therefore clients written for facebook will not work for it.
I would stay away from Oauth 2.0 unless you need it as a client to authenticate to third party services.
