Of course you can!

You'll get the appearance of a color separation with blue and red instead of
cyan and magenta in lieu of the CMYK primaries. Depending on the hue and
ligthness of you blue and red inks, you'll get dark "blues" (the one you get
by surprinting cyan and magenta -- in your case red and blue) and dark
greens, and weird "reds" -- maybe way orangish. Hard to predict, that's why
you need to make a profile to tell. You could use Photoshop custom CMYK
setup to have a taste for the colors you're likely going to get. But, in my
experience, Photoshop's mixing color model does not yield entirely accurate
color prediction. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
Beats me as to why you'd want to do that but it's not, IMHO, a road to
better or larger process color gamut.

I am using MonacoProfiler for Mac.
Any profiling package will accept any combination of primaries.
