I don't see why not. Requirements are to inject the fuel (in pellet form) and ignite it with a laser pulse. Right now I believe the pellet is contained in an hohlraum that is held in place in order to perform the test but you could drop (or shoot) that assembly into the chamber and time the laser pulse to hit it when it's in the right location. That doesn't sound like it's beyond the realm of physical possibility.
