Short answer: no. Long answer: nothing is impossible ;-)
Extensions are compiled based on settings of the core php. If you split 
core php in different ports, you end up with possibly many different 
settings (e.g, standard CLI, debug CGI, threaded mod_php) and so it's 
impossible to compile extensions that work for all SAPIs.
In an ideal world, the core php should compile only a shared library, 
and the various SAPIs should link it.
