Is it possible to write new clang-tidy modernize rules?

In particular, I'm using Qt; our codebase is still littered with old foreach macros, like foreach (T foo, bar) { ... }. I'd like to turn that to for (T foo : bar) { ... }. Is there a way to write a clang-tidy rule to do this?

Yes, it's definitely possible. Clang-tidy is open source so nothing stops you from modifying the code or writing your own checks.

The modernize-loop-convert check does something very similar to your use case so it's possibly a good start. (source)

Clang-tidy even has official documentation on writing new checks.
