It is possible, but would take some work.
Something similar was done with the n8x0 series. See here.

You could stream the webcam to an network port using gstreamer via the command line, and in that way make it a "network webcam" - which could work for some desktop software, but not all.

There are already two threads about how to use the N900 as a webcam.
I've found them by searching for "N900 webcam".

Agreed with this. Basically there is a client for the computer (for the major platforms, I had it working on Linux myself), and then the 'server' runs on the phone, which they also have for the N9.
