Yes, it's possible, because they are just DRM'd mobi files. Once the DRM is stripped (using the usual Alf tools) the HTML content can be extracted with the calibre KindleUnpack plugin. At that point the tedious effort starts ... but it is do-able if you understand the well-documented and fairly simple Kobo dictionary format. The files are very large to manipulate so some basic coding skills (but not rocket science) are probably desirable.
It's all rather moot, though, because we wouldn't be allowed to post the resulting Kobo-ified Oxford dictionaries here, for copyright reasons.
