Yes. Possums can certainly climb bird feeders, and will almost certainly take the food.
Possums are arboreal (tree-dwelling) creatures, so they need sharp, strong claws for climbing trees. The claws are also their main method of defence against attack from predators.
many animals have sharp claws that enable them to climb trees. Koalas, possums, gliders, quolls and phascogales are all examples of arboreal mammals equipped with sharp claws. Parrots, too, have sharp claws that enable them to climb trees. Although perfectly capable of flying, parrots often use their claws and their strong beak to pull themselves up trees and branches.

Possums walk and climb. They are efficient climbers, scaling trees of various sizes, and often leaping between branches, and from trees to house roofs. They scamper quickly through the bush and along branches and house roofs. Gliders are also in the possum family: as well as climbing, they have skin membranes stretching from their wrists to their hind ankles which allow them to glide between tree tops.
