It depends on what you want to do. Possible it is certainly possible, but you can't be guaranteed to observe the conformational changes you desire to observe. Again, it does not depend only on the REMD, but also on the length of it. How long will it be? 10 ns? 100? 1000? 10.000? Plus, it also depends on your system itself -and this you cannot know without trying.
If you want to improve sampling beyond what standard REMD can do, to exploit your computational resources at the best, you can look into other approaches like solute tempering ( http://www.pnas.org/content/102/39/13749.abstract ), or metadynamics ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metadynamics ). However I advise you to study *well* this kind of things, talk with experts in these techniques, and remember that there is no guarantee any of them will bring the result you want.
