In theory I would think yes...

...however that does not address the licensing issues as far as I'm aware. If and when the license is platform bound ito of platform processing power (i.e. number of CPUs), then the only alternative is to run it on a smaller platform.

Also think of it from the Oracle perspective - even if you can get the operating system and Oracle configured for running Oracle on a single processor, what guarantees are there it will still run on a single processor tomorrow when you hit performance problems?
