If you're asking whether it is physically possible, yes. If you're asking if this is an acceptable installation, again the answer is yes. A breaker box can be installed either end up, and it doesn't make much difference. Either way the small 'branch circuit' breakers are fed from the main breaker. The only difference it might make, is that some residential panels come with knockouts in the top and bottom. Some panels have top knockouts only. If you're running your homeruns through an attic, you'd probably want to install the panel with the knockouts up, for ease of installation.
