Yes, it is possible. I have gotten it working very recently. One issue that gave me fits was that the version of Solr I was using was 1.4 and the version of Lucene I was using was 3.3, so I couldn't get the core to start when Solr started. So make sure your versions match or are compatible. Once I did that, my lucene index just started working.
