It should be possible; e.g. the obviousmode.vim script:
  http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=2212
    Clearly indicate visually whether Vim is in insert mode via
    the StatusLine highlight group.  When you go into insert mode,
    the status line color changes.

and indeed in:
  http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_41.html#vim-script-intro:
there are "mode" and "writefile" functions available ...
