The way the motherboards are made, no.
I have done this to one of my CF-30's. I used a external GPU though the express card slot. You just have to use a external screen. I do see this kind of technology coming back. MSI just released a laptop with a dock it plugs into. It's called the GS30. You dock your laptop and then you have a desktop video card on a external screen.
Also older single core thinkpads had the advanced dock. It had a 300w power supply built into the dock and you could put in a full X 16 pci video card. Although you were limited on some choices.
