When you use DIY in the sentence it is always possible to do something yourself. With a fireplace it is going to be hard work and you'll want to make sure you have the right tools to do the job. I would say that installation of a wood stove rather than a fireplace may be easier to do yourself since the whole in the wall is a lot smaller. If you do it yourself, you will need to make sure it passes the right inspections so plan carefully.
