Yes. Actually in 2010 Intel already built a two-chip solution consisting of an Atom with an Altera FPGA in the same package (code name Stellarton). I doubt it was a big success though, because there hasn't been a successor as far as I know.

It is possible to build them into a single chip as well. Lots of FPGAs actually include (ARM) CPU cores and other fixed function logic.

The challenges and compromises needed to manufacture both a high performance Xeon and an FPGA on a single chip might not be worth it though. Unless demand really soars a two-chip package is much more likely.
