Of course.  I even detailed a number of times how it could be done:
what you need is to find a hook in libffi that allows you to create
new types with a manually specified size and alignment, then use that
from the racket side.  That does require some digging, but it sounds
like Sam has already done some, so you just need to wait for a patch
from him.
