No, it doesn't sound feasible, really. There is quite a long list of
hal dependencies (
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DeviceKit#Scope ).

But thankfully, it is not really necessary to port everything
immediately, hal and DeviceKit can happily coexist (with some minimal
interaction e.g. for device locking). If a few core modules (gvfs,
nautilus, gnome-mount) are ported to hal, we should be in good shape
for 2.26.
