Technically, it is possible. At least X11 does this somehow:
       Option "DontVTSwitch"  "boolean"
              This  disallows  the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Fn sequence (where Fn
              refers to one of the numbered function keys).  That sequence is
              normally used to switch to another "virtual terminal"  on
              operating systems that have this feature.  When this option is
              enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and is passed
              to clients.  Default: off.
