Yes.

Whatever external SVG renderer you choose, please use FT_Renderer facility to hook it up with FreeType instead of creating a set of SVG specific functions: an SVG glyph should be tagged as FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_SVG, which is then picked up by the dedicated SVG FT_Renderer with hooks to external library. The SVG support can be enabled/disabled using the renderer modules, say "svg-ot", in modules.cfg.
