No.  The iPod does not have any radio hardware.  Radio can't be implemented through software.

Not exactly true.

Apple sells a "Radio Remote" accessory for ipods that adds FM Radio support.

About the FM Radio
Just plug in your iPod Radio Remote and select “Radio” from the main iPod menu. Tuning takes place right there in the color display with your Click Wheel, just as you'd set a classic analog radio. Easily mark a favorite station for quick access later, and switch between favorite stations using either the iPod or the remote.

If you're listening to a station that supports the Radio Data System (RDS) standard, you can even see song title/artist or radio station information in the iPod display.* The iPod Radio Remote supports FM stations from 87.5 to 107.9MHz (in both the US and European standards) and 76 to 90MHz (the Japanese standard). You can switch between the different standards when traveling.

To clarify what Febs said, the iPods have no radio hardware built in the iPods themselves. The radio remotes should be checked on this page:

Look for the make and model of the FM transmitter, and see if it's compatible with Rockbox.

But the question wasn't whether radio could be implemented via a hardware accessory.  The question was whether radio could be implemented "through Rockbox."

That's understandable, Febs, but it sounded like Sanek didn't read the original question. I wanted him to make sure what you had said.
