If you disable interrupts so that another one doesn't come along
before you can save enough state for the first one, yes.

S/360 does it with no stack. You have to have some place in the
low (first 4K) address range to save at least one register. 
The hardware saves the old PSW at a fixed (for each type of
interrupt) address, which you also have to move somewhere else
before enabling more interrupts of the same type.
