Check out Ivan Louette's thread about Inkscape and Xara. I think you'll find it very interesting

This has most probably been modelled in 3D and then rendered using 3D lighting etc. - so, probably impractical to do in a 2D layout package, though not impossible

After seeing this image and having a quick go I'd say a BIG yes you could.
