Is it even possible?
Is it allowed?
Would it work?

sbiddle: No, no and no (and no to the other question).
In a GPON world the ONT is very closely tied to the OLU.
Bitstream 4 is a HSNS equivalent service with Chorus which doesn't always get terminated with an ONT, it can just use a media converter (which is typically managed) but the SFP can technically be plugged into other hardware.

Service Description for Bitstream 4
Brief description:
Bitstream 4 is our performance leading bitstream service. It has over 20 bandwidth profiles ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps. There is sure to be a Bitstream 4 profile that meets your performance and budget requirements. Because Bitstream 4 is deployed across dedicated fibre it has lower latency and jitter characteristics when compared to other Bitstream services. All your Bitstream 4 bandwidth is guaranteed CIR so the capacity you buy is the capacity you get, guaranteed. The full range of VLAN, using a single tag, is provided by default on this service to enable maximum flexibility for corporate users.

Before anyone gets too excited here are the wholesale circuit prices for the Bitstream 4 service:
100Mbps - $350 to $450
1Gbps - $425 - $1,425
10Gps - $1,325 to $8,325
Prices range is for CIR (Committed Information rate) from 0 to 100%. Contrary to their claim in the service summary (previously quoted), not all BS4 connections are 100% CIR.
The above prices are per month and plus GST. Note this is only for the circuit from Ultrafast to the customer. There is additional charges on top.
