From a theoretical standpoint of course its not impossible. From a realistic standpoint, highly unlikely. A processor is really densed already crammed with transistors. Putting some kind of implementation will increase their engineering costs and put more investment into protecting their product, instead of producing the best damn product they can (sounds familiar Sony?). Plus, honestly if Intel did not want people to overclock, I'm sure they could find a way so that a processor can not exceed over x fsb. But then they would pretty much lose the ethusist market.

Although losing the ethusist market would not hurt them so much because we area minority, we are also the most vocal and annoying ones (from a company standpoint ). So Intel rather just give us the RMA, instead of having to spending more money on an issue that is rarely going to happen.
