In theory, yes. In practice, no, because non-local servers would take
too much time to access the (remote) database, plus you'd have security
issues to worry about with allowing remote access to the detabase in the
first place. In any case it would be simpler to do it within the IRC
protocol--e.g.:
[client] JOIN #channel
[ircd, to Services] :client JOINREQ #channel
[Services, to ircd] :services.example.net JOINALLOW client #channel
(or) :services.example.net JOINDENY client #channel
[ircd, to client] :client JOIN #channel
(or) :ircd.example.net 499 client :Join for #channel denied
