Yes, should be possible by adding variants.

The larger problem with Kashmiri is that it needs Unicode
points for certain vowels that have no equivalent in Arabic.
This is something that we learnt from folk at the University
of Kashmir, who are working on a font including these changes.
A proposal to add these points to the Devanagari script is
also apparently under discussion with Unicode, and someone
should start one for Arabic. I am not sure how the current
translations have been done in the face of such issues.
