No, at least not alone... :-)

There have been precedents, most recently the Evolver by Dave Smith.

I've been venting this idea as well, albeit more as a mental exercise. 
The tricky part is IMHO to make _everything_ voltage controlled 
(including calibration). I'm not so sure about putting a voice on one 
big board, I tend to favor 4x parallel building blocks on something 
like a slightly oversized DIMM for the polyphonic route. Incidentally, 
Waldorf has arrived at the same conclusion for their AFM. That way you 
can still use it as a nice meaty module as well. Then you need a fair 
amount of D/A and possibly A/D conversion. This is rather unpleasant to 
do unless you are willing to use SMD components, which leaves the DIY 
territory for most of us, I'd think.

Which gets me to another topic: anyone ever tried to build a small 
reflow oven for DIY? *ducks*
