Yes Patrick, it is possible, I'm doing it right now on my computer.

Steps to do that:
1) Add the stretch-backports repository to your sources

2) Update the database with:
> sudo apt update

3) Install Orca from backports
> sudo apt install -t stretch-backports gnome-orca

4) Install the dependencies for compilation of Orca
> sudo apt build-dep gnome-orca

5) Get Orca sources with Git:
> git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca.git

6) Go to the cloned repository

7) Execute the following command:
> ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

8) How to update master after that ?
8.1) Go to the cloned repository again
8.2) Do the update command for Git:
> git pull
8.3) Execute again the command of step 7

9) Enjoy new feature or bug fixes

Best regards,
Alex.
