Yes. The vague outline I see in my head is something like this:

- Have another tag called {{processor ..}} which specifies the php
  script.

- Inside that PHP script should be function called process_template() or
  something similar.

- The engine will load the template and then check to see if there are
  any processor tags and store them in the list.

- At tpl_fetch()/tpl_print() time the engine will go through each
  processor and call process_template()

- process_template() will do assign/show/hide/whatever
