Yes.  AFAIK, something like this should be possible.  A composition
in 1366-ET would have to have a single-note SYSX message for each note.

Also, AFAIK, the Scala software can produce a MIDI file containing
such SYSEX single-note messages and this file should then be playable
through TiMidity++.

You'll have to research the Scala documentation to find out how
this is done.  As I mentioned, I am not active in this area but
there are microtonalists who do go beyond the limitations of the 
standard MIDI format.
