Yes it is! KForge was specifically designed to make it very easy to do 
exactly this. In KForge these bits of functionality are provided as 
plugins and you'd just need to write a plugin for hg. Take a look at the 
  subversion plugin [1] to see what you need to do. By the way the only 
three methods you need to provide there are:

   onServiceCreate
   onServicePurge
   getApacheConfig

If this isn't clear please say -- I think this is probably something 
that needs documenting a bit better. There is some stuff in docs 
including a plugin_system.txt -- though having taken a look at that I 
think it needs updating (that's the problem with docs -- they get out of 
sync with the system :( ).
