I believe it is possible, but as Brian mentioned you have to let the preprocessor know it needs to process it. You can either tell it to use php to handle .js files (Not recommended) or simply use a .php file for your javascript, then use:

This should be okay because the mime type is still javascript so it will be interpreted that way. I've never actually tried this, so it is a guess, but I believe it should work.
