Short answer: yes, this is possible. You can use the 'foldexpr' and 'foldtext' options to get almost any folding behavior you want.

Longer answer: maybe something like this? http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Folding_for_plain_text_files_based_on_indentation

If that's not what you want, you should show some sample text and how you want it folded, for clarity.
