I am trying to programmatically create an alias for a folder. Is it
possible?

This has been discussed on the Carbon list more than once. There are two schools of thought:

1. Use AppleEvents or AppleScript to ask the Finder to make the alias for you.

2. Peek inside a couple of alias files with Resorcerer and you'll see that the structure is not that complicated. Roll your own code to make them (using Carbon APIs).
