It is ;-)

But you need to initialize tslib_fe, which is a huge overhead for Ajax
functionality.

First you make an instance of the tslib_fe class like:
$GLOBALS['TSFE'] = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tslib_fe',
	$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS'],
	t3lib_div::_GP('id'),
	t3lib_div::_GP('type'),
	and more variables if you want
);
(please check your incoming values ;-)

Do some other stuff (check if you need this)
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->connectToMySQL();
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->initFEuser();
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->determineId();
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->getCompressedTCarray();
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->initTemplate();
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->getConfigArray();

And you can get the configuration at:
$configuration =
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->tmpl->setup['plugin.']['tx_yourextension_controller.'];

It's not really recommended, but it is doable.
