Of course it is. This is software, so EVERYTHING  is  possible.  It's
just a matter of effort, and efficiency.

The main issue is: don't try to reinvent the wheel.

If you don't need write support, then just use the existing JFFS2 code.

If you doneed write support, then just use the  existing  JFFS2  code
and  add  write  support  to it based on the existing Linux MTD/JFFS2
drivers.

Best regards,
