Is it possible to use Facebook connect with Jquery? I've
found some old posts saying it isn't possible, but I'm not sure how things
currently are. I've found that the Facebook connect code is mostly
using Fb as the namespace, while jquery uses the $
sign, so may be it is possible?

Yes, it is quite possible to do so. As long as you aren't making an FBML app, you can use whatever Javascript you'd like. IFrame apps and Facebook Connect sites are fine.
I have several apps that utilize both MooTools and/or JQuery along with FB Connect with no issues at all. You are right about the namespacing... Facebook has attempted to isolate their functionality within the FB
namespace, so there are no longer conflicts with common global functions.
