Yes, of course.

AFAIK, interrupts coming from a PCI device is handled in the same 
way as coming from a ISA device. So you can use the "normal"
interrupt hooking (_go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector()
or _go32_dpmi_allocate_real_mode_callback_iret).

You biggest problem would be to query the PCI-BIOS where
the IRQ and I/O ports are assigned. Look at my libpcap port
for an PCI / BIOS32 example.
