I think it's possible. Use IRQ8 (real time clock) as parametr to
lwp_init, since Allegro
hooks irq0 (system timer) and do a lot of critical stuff in
'irq0'_handler. Another thing
to think about is rentrantnes  of Allegro's routines, but this question
is better to ask
Shawn (Allegro creator).
Anyway use 
lwp_thread_disable();
non_rentrant_function();
lwp_thread_enable();

This is not so elegant as writing rentrant code but it's work. ;)
