I don't see any impediment. I'm not sure you could replicate Lojban's
grammar in full as a link grammar, but it appears that you should be 
able to obtain at least as good results as in English. Some things would 
be simpler. If you don't delve into semantic issues (i.e. you accept
any sentence that parses correctly even if it doesn't make much sense) 
then you would only need a dictionary with 120 entries or so, because 
all the words belonging to the same selmaho have identical syntax and 
so would have identical links.
