I did see this done once, only it was like a block that the (angled) single fitted in, rather than a humbucker case.

I'm positive it can be done, like what Sifu Ben said. I've seen them like that too it should be simple to put on a cover.

I think the coil shape will be different so it won't sound like a true single, if you use humbucker-style bobbins.

What about a humbucker sized mounting ring?  Allparts make them:

I think the magnets are different too
