Yes, it is theoretically possible, though I don't even think animal models have been tested for this. Major problems cited are: blood supply for the uterus may be difficult, there may be too little room around organs in males, necessary hormones may be unsafe for the fetus/carrier.

Essentially, it's likely possible, but even womb transplantation into women is highly experimental and may prove to be unsafe, without the added limitations of male anatomy and hormones.
