Yes, but Jython does not support the Python C-API, so you cannot run
Sage that way. One day far, far into the future this might be doable
via IronPython where a project exists to bring the Python C-API to
the .Net machine. The current release lets about 80% of tests of numpy
pass, so this isn't as far into the future as it seems.
Not that this would solve the problem, but I think what might be the
avenue worth exploring here is to communicate via XMLRPC, but that
code by RobertWB has been stuck in limbo for a while due to more
pressing issues elsewhere. So if someone wanted to pick it up and run
with it it would be highly welcome.
