Sure, it's possible, but it's way more effort then it's worth with nothing to gain. It's really hard to beat a standard seat post- and if the frame is already finished and functional it seems like a non-starter.
If you have your heart set on an ISP I would recommend starting from the ground up and really paying attention to how the forces act on the parts you hope to design.

I have a frame that might need a repair so I was thinking in the possibility.

You could paint your seat post the same color as the frame and get 99% of the benefit of the ISP with none of the hassles.
