Of course it's possible. It's even easy if you read the documentation
and understand what's changed between 1.x and 2.x. I remember reading
something about PHP not being thread-safe, however, and since that may
be one of the reasons for your wanting to upgrade (worker saves one of
my machines about 25 MB of core for equivalent functionality), you may
want to rethink it.
