If referring about drilling holes in the seat stays for upper rack mounting holes probably a very poor idea. The classic Pletscher cast aluminum rack which clamps to the seat stays is still available as are imitations from Inline and Pyramid. Still would require use of P clamps or the nuts mentioned by unterhausen for the legs if no eyelets on the dropouts.

Bikemania lists the genuine Pletscher version. Amazon has the imitations.

A classic rack for a classic bike.

Another possibility is the Tubus Fly rack which uses a single top strut that bolts to the brake bridge. A lot more expensive however and the top area is very narrow. A minimalist rack.
