Just about anything is possible ;)

Yes, but presumably if you have a system with a reasonable density then you can 
use NVT to prevent wild changes in density.  There are plenty of other 
methodological concerns, of course (time step, validity of force field 
parameters, etc).  There is plenty of literature on this topic, so you should 
start by doing some homework regarding what other people do and how you might 
apply it.
