As you've probably noticed with the above answers, yes this is very possible to do.

I've actually had to do this on my current project. I was able to get approval to add MVC to our application, but only in the administration section (to limit the risk of affecting current members coming to our site).

The biggest problem I had was converting my Web Site to a Web Application, but once that was done, things were pretty straight forward adding MVC side-by-side our classic code-behind web pages.

The trick for me was to make my MVC pages look as similar as possible to my code-behind pages so the transition looked as seamless as possible.
