To the extent that compute engine is a vanilla VPS, it should be possible, where I don't think it can be done without massive effort on app engine. That said, my guess is that pricing would be prohibitive once out of demo mode. I found this to be true with Amazon's computing products. Also, instance management could be a bother.

One can get a suitable VPS for under $10/month. Working out the price for a compute engine is hard, but assuming a fulltime instance it seems to be at least $30/month.
