Yes. Just configure your mail server to do something like /path/to/php /path/to/the/script.php (if you create a special account for this or a qmail alias, this can be as simple as a single line in a config file). You'll have some input parsing to do but it shouldn't be a big deal with PHP's parsing abilities.
