Should be able to and "will" be able to are different things, though.

Technically, you could just choose a 9pt font or something for text display, but everything else is going to look huge by comparison (window decorations, toolbars and whatnot).

I'm sure you could manage between CandyBar (http://panic.com/candybar/) and whatever else is out there

EDIT: CandyBar doesn't seem to help much; however there are already many fonts and icons that can be scaled through preferences. I don't have an answer yet for toolbars, etc. I wonder if there's something that can be changed in the terminal (com.apple.?)
