No, not with a TypoScript-Only Solution. To read the external file you 
need PHP Code. You could invoke a PHP-Script with a USER Object

includeLibs.skypeStatus = fileadmin/php/userSkypeStatus.php
page.10.marks{
   SKYPESTATUS = USER
   SKYPESTATUS.userFunc = user_skypeStatus->main
   SKYPESTATUS.readfile = http://mystatus.skype.com/username.txt
}

Hope that helps,

Sebastian
