Technically: yes. It's possible. You can do that on Jailbreak Devices as well as on Enterprise Deployment Aoo. You can use the VOIP App Mode.
If you'd like to deploy the app through the iTunes App Store, you will get a "reject" from apple. Background-Apps are currently not allowed by apple (only real VOIP apps, Music-In-Background and GPS Tracking Apps). Know why? Because every app running in background eats a lot of battery power.
