Yes, it is possible. It’s just that the app will probably not look that good.
If it’s your own app, I’d suggest you modify it to look and work properly on a tablet.
You can have actionbars in pre-3.0 devices, using
http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ActionBarCompat/index.htmlI have used that in a number of apps, it makes your app look like an ics app, even on Gingerbread devices. Also, it allows you to develop using the latest SDK, and still run your app on older devices.
If it’s not your app, then you’re stuck with an app that stretches its screens to tablet size. Unfortunately, there’s quite a few apps that look bad on my tablet.
