Yeah, it's all within the realm of possibility, with too many unknowns (eg, what is a realistic information density) to really easily say how easy or hard it is.

Re: Falcon 9's, Voyager was lifted on a Titan IIIE, which had a LEO payload of 15,300 kg, compared to 22,800 kg for the Falcon 9 to LEO. Assuming Voyager was near the capacity of what could be ejected from the Solar System by a Titan IIIE, you'd need to send up ~7 Falcon 9's to Voltron together in orbit.

I would argue that at this point, actually building Voltron might be more wortwhile.
