Hehe.
Yes, I say that it's possible.
I was trying it in lab's environment but I didn't hear about any real 
implementation of 6500/Sup2 as P-router (without OSM and Flexwan) in a real 
networks. Sup2 is very old and it has many restrictions. I think that using 
of Sup2 for SP tasks won't be cost-effective nowadays :)
