With real Doctrine models/documents then it could be done.
But it will lose all backward compat.

If TYPO3 7.0 only will use Doctrine DBAL then MongoDB is a no go.
DBAL does not support MongoDB.

If TYPO3 7.0 will use the whole Doctrine ODM and ORM then MongoDB could 
be used with a special mongo session handler.

My-/Postgre-/MS-/etc SQL and Mongo/CouchDB/etc are two very different 
approaches to "databases".

What I would much more like is something like
RedBean http://redbeanphp.com/

This can connect to all SQL databases (PDO), but you dont need to 
create/update tables.

$book = R::dispense('book');
$book->title = 'Gifted Programmers';
R::store($book);

Boom, now our table book have a title row.

$book = R::dispense('book');
$book->title = 'New book';
$book->created = new DateTime();
R::store($book);

Boom, now our table book have a created row (with the correct datetime 
field, and not those ugly int fields)
