Yes, it definitely *is* possible.  I am the
moderator/listman for
`freebsd-doc-el', which is currently hosted in the Mailman
installation
of lists.linux.gr:

    http://lists.hellug.gr/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-doc-el


Right now the list is not open for posting by
non-subscribers, so we use
this as a crude `antispam' filter.  If the load starts
becoming too much
for me to handle, I will have to find another way to filter
messages

I think local mailling list are BUG's domain, if you pull
the already
few people (in some countries) from BUGs to a
national-xxxx-BSD list,
it will fragment more the tiny local communities.
