Yes, both in pdftex in xetex the stroke colour and fill colour are independent. You can even change the rendering mode of text and print glyph outlines in one colour with a specified line width and fill them with another colour. It is shown in my article: Zdeněk Wagner: Tisk obrysu písma v PDF which is available here: http://bulletin.cstug.cz/bul2013-1.shtml It is written in Czech but I hope you can find the code.
