In theory it is possible, but not really necessary. The genesis block for any blockchain should be mined at a very very low difficulty. Usually it is done by modifying the client source code to include a basic CPU miner with all parameters (genesis transaction, previous block hash, etc.) except the nonce preset in hex and then hashed. Because the genesis block should be a low difficulty block (ideally the lowest possible difficulty), it should not take a very long time to find.
