If I had the skills, yes I imagine so. The hub doesn't need (in fact, you have to disable if it does) any sort of freewheel, so if such a thing existed as a 12 speed track hub, with a 157mm axle and a disc rotor mount then it would be perfect.
The WRP Centre Hub comes with a 3D printed titanium lock-out ring that you put into a DT Swiss hub (which is what I have). The advantage is that you can convert back to having a freewheel by removing that.
The whole idea of this Centre Hub is to remove, or largely mitigate, the effects of the suspension pulling on the chain when active, therefore removing deleterious effects on the suspension and also detectable to the rider as the pedals kicking back.
