Sure we can.  There's even the "external" directory in classpath, which
should contain all the software that is not part of classpath, but
provides functionality we'd like to have provided by classpath from user
POV.

You could add tritonous there, in your sandbox, and if it works, we'd
create a "vendor" branch for it, like we do for classpath, then do as
we do with classpath itself.  Or even better - forward this merge code
upstream, for inclusion into gnu classpath, and then get it from there. 
I imagine it would be most welcomed there.

>From what I read however, Tritonous is actively developed and the newest
versions require java 1.5 compiler and libraries, which we don't have.
We could however include a slightly older version (this is what Kaffe
does) that did not have this requirement.
