Yes, that is possible. Just implement the interface 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_RepositoryInterface and put your custom 
Repository into my_ext/Classes/Domain/Repository/EventRepository,php.

What do you mean with "pseudo" object? It could be a full featured 
domain object "Event" for example.

Another way is to map (some) database fields of tx_cal_event onto your 
domain object Event, like

config.tx_myext {
   persistence{
     classes {
       Tx_MyExt_Domain_Model_Event {
         mapping {
           tableName = tx_cal_event
             columns {
               foo.mapOnProperty = bar
             }
           }
         }
       }
     }
   }
}

The problem is the custom date format of cal. Maybe you find a solution 
for this.

Jochen
