Yes, but it won't be as easy as you might expect.  X captures a number 
of key combinations directly; Ctrl-Alt- (Backspace, keypad+, keypad-, 
F[1-12].).  The xorg.conf options "DontZap", "DontVTSwitch", and 
"DontZoom" can make X ignore those key combinations.  You could 
theoretically put the DontVTSwitch option in your xorg.conf, then use 
xbindkeys to execute a shell script when you pressed Ctrl-Alt-F? .

The real problem is that the shell script thus executed may not be able 
to do "chvt N", since root (not the user) probably owns the vt that X 
is running on.  I suppose you could make chvt SUID, though....
