Yes, it is (http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodClassicPort).

Currently installation is only possible using the freemyipod project's emCORE (http://www.freemyipod.org/wiki/EmCORE_Installation).

Sorry to burst into a thread but seems to be a good place to put my query ;)

Trying to do this myself, if I put the pod into DFU mode I dont see a drive to connect to?
Windows makes a connection noise as it should, control manager shows a USB device connected,
With the free my ipod driver but can’t see/access the drive to drop the files on to, am I missing something silly?

Disk drive == UMS/MSC mode, so I don't think you'll see anything if you're in DFU mode.
