That depends on how you define "zero turn radius".

If you calculate the turn radius from the center of the rear axle, you could create a zero turn radius vehicle using an ackerman drive if you could turn both steering wheels to the tangent of a line coming from the center point of the rear axle.

Having done that, there would be no way to generate drive power from a conventional rear differential, so the steering wheels would need to generate the power, and with that much of an angle, both wheels would need to be powered using something other than a drive-shaft or half-shaft... probably something like an electric or hydraulic motor.

But possible??? Certainly, if you want to go to that much trouble.

On the other hand...

If you calculate the turn radius from the center of the vehicle (forward of the rear axle) no, it wouldn't be possible.
