Yes.

On server/domain A you have
* gwt compiled files, including project_nocache.js
* assets such as css/images
* container.html which loads domainb.com/project.html in an iframe.

On server/domain B you have
* project.html, which loads domaina.com/project/project_nocache.js
* APIs

Clients can access either domainb.com/project.html or domaina.com/
container.html
