It is possible using Jquery UI. I've described solution in my blog: http://zakharov.posterous.com/how-to-handle-when-backbonejs-view-is-remove

You can trigger a custom event on the method which is being called to close down the view. Then just have something listening to this event.

What triggers the removal of the view from the DOM? If the view is managing this removal, whomever created the view or has a reference to the view can register to receive an event that the view can trigger when this DOM removal happens.

I haven't tried it, but you might be able to wire up the DOMNodeRemoved event as an event that the view registers a function for. You would then bubble this DOM event up through your app for any interested listener to respond to.
