Certainly. However:

FUSE was originally designed/implemented for Linux. Unlike Mac OS X,
which has a FreeBSD-like (but not the same) vnode-centric file system
architecture, the Linux file system layer is file-centric. This causes
several issues, combined with the nature of Mac OS X kernel
interfaces. Therefore, a 100% faithful FUSE API implementation is not
currently feasible on Mac OS X *under realistic circumstances*. That's
all.
