Yes. Lots of people do this reguilarly. However:

The simplest way to use FOP from ASP is to call Java as command
line application. This involves a significant startup overhead.
Furthernmore, if your browser is IEx, you'll have to buffer the
generated PDF in order to set the content-length header correctly,
which is yet another nuisance.
(If the rest of the app is wedded to ASP)
How about running a FOP-specific Java servlet, such as Tomcat and
redirecting *.pdf requests from IIS?
