I do not really understand what do you want to achieve. It is possible in general.

have you tried it?
why shouldn't it work.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

function fork {
        fork
}

fork

It is posssible, albeit with some complaints from the C compiler since fork() does not take an argument, but what are you trying to accomplish? The process tree you would end up with after fork(fork()) is
Code:
                parent
                  /\
                /  \
                /    \
            child1 child2
                      \
                        \
                      child3
