I haven't tried it myself, but I think it is possible.
Have you made an attempt yet, and if so, where did you get hung up?

In fact, looking at sendmail.cpp (which would contain some unix-isms),
I see this:

#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(unix)
#define popen(str,mode) (printf("%s\n",str),*(mode)=='w'?stdout:stdin)
#define pclose(fp)
#endif

... so someone must be doing it.
