Is it possible for a polar covalent compound to have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound?

Yes, it is possible. Melting point is influenced by various factors beyond just the polarity of the compound, such as molecular size, shape, and intermolecular forces. A polar covalent compound with weaker intermolecular forces can have a lower melting point than a non-polar covalent compound with stronger intermolecular forces.
