I don't see why not.  You'd just have to annotate each opcode with a
call to some Lisp debugger function, and then of course write the
bytecode debugger in Lisp...

Trickier would be making this work without slowing down Elisp.  Even
that could be done if you were willing to have 2 copies of the
interpreter.

Alternatively, just compile bytecode to C and then use gdb.  :-)
