It is indeed possible, but it is going to be a lot of work. The engineers who designed the car felt that drum brakes would be best for the car, and it is wise to leave them as drum brakes instead of disc.

If the vehicle has brakes on the steer axle (which any truck from 1975 and newer will have), they're using both the primary and secondary system - primary for the drive axle and trailer brakes, secondary for the steer axle brakes, and often for any additional lift axle brakes, as well.

What is the brake system valve located above rear axle on the passenger side of 95 Geo Tracker 2D 4WD 5SP 16V... The linkage connecting it to the rear axle is gone. Is this why it has no rear brakes?
I believe that would be the rear brake anti-lock control valve. You should still have rear brakes with that disconnected but the anti-lock will not function.
Is brake calipers necessary for brake drums?
There are no calipers used with brake drums. Brake drums work with curved brake pads pressing against the inside circular surface of the drum when the brakes are applied. These pads are held in place and pushed by a spring and lever assembly that is mounted to a steel plate attached to the wheel or axle of the car. This plate does not move. Calipers are used with disc brakes to hold the brake pads on both sides of the disc brake and to apply them against the disc when the brakes are applied.
