Yes, it has been achieved once for womens' reproductive organs - ovaries from a donor, also a uterus from mother to daughter. The overies were used to concieve, but were removed again after the birth (so continous immunosuppression was not necessary). Thus it's not a commonly performed intervention for infertility, however it is possible. The main issue is that transplanted ovaries will result in offspring genetically related to the donor, rather than the recipient. With this in mind, the procedure produces very few benefits when compared to IVF or using donated eggs, or a surrogate.
For men, again it is possible, but again sperm will be genetically related to the donor, not the recipient. Again, it is not a commonplace procedure, and continuous immunosuppression is necessary.
