Can you use latex stain over polyurethane enforced oil based stain?

Yes, but only if the stain is a few years old and really dry. You have to wash the stain thoroughly to remove the chalked pigments and then prime it to seal the checks in the wood. One disadvantage of stain is that it will not keep the wood from checking as it dries. Either a latex of alkyd primer will work well. You can then paint it with your latex top coat.

Can a latex painted piece be stained with oil based stain for an antique look?
If you are looking for a faux antique finish you can use stain over latex paint to achieve it. The latex must be completely clean, grease/oil free and dry. The oil based stain, usually in a dark brown colour, is applied with a brush and then rubbed in with a clean absorbent cloth. In this process most of the stain is removed, but what remains settles in the cracks, crevices and corners and simulate the look of the accumulated dirt of years, hence the "antiquing."
