In theory this is possible because under the covers the vala compiler
generates plain old ANSI C source and header files. We've looked at
packaging Shotwell before as pure C code for distribution, but there
are a number of technical issues to be resolved involving
configuration, etc., and we thought that implementing new features was
a better use of our time as devs. That said, if someone in the
community wants to come forward and put together a C-only source
package, I think that'd be great! If the packaging is solid enough, we
might even consider making the package available on the Yorba website,
right beside our own Vala tarball!
Cheers,
Lucas
