Yes, it is possible.

If you have your layout in PackageA then in PackageB you can have an 
AbstractController with "protected function initializeView($view)" 
which is declared (empty) in the parent controller classes. So inside 
this initializeView method you can call 
$view->setLayoutPathAndFilename('resource://PackageA/Private/Templates/Layouts');. 
Then you can have your controllers in PackageB extend to the 
AbstractController and the layouts from the PackageA can be used.

Enjoy the TYPO3Flow :)
