Yes, it is.

There is working oracle module in stable (rel_0_9_0) branch of 
experimental tree. It might not work with all ser & serweb tables, but 
it definitely works with version, subscriber, and location ones, 
(though you should create them manually with proper types, and 
probably change the name of uid column if any). This is enough 
for authentication and persistent storage of registered contacts.

I'm going to review this module for Ottendorf release, and commit 
necessary fixes to proper CVS branch or HEAD within a week or two. 
I'll also provide patches for XSLT scripts for oracle schema creation 
real-soon-now.

Note that SER-150 issue has to be fixed as well.
