Yes it is possible. See the Narayam
extension<http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimediaindia-l/2011-September/004426.html>integrated
to Tamil, Malayalam, Sanskrit Wikipedias. Also Bengali, Hindi,
and Marathi  wikipedias use a similar tool developed by Junaid.

But to integrate additional typing schemes to Kannada wikipedia, support
from few Kannada wikipedians is required. We need to test the typing schemes
before it is integrated to wikipedia.

Please let me know in case any support is required regarding this.
