I don't see why not, unless you run up against some local security
policies that get in the way...

Sork is just a front end to existing tools, so whether it is possible or
not depends on if you have, or can install, those tools, and if the web
server can connect to those tools.

I would be suprised if sork wouldn't work in your environment, policies
issues aside.
