  Structurally feasible, yes, at least on the SkyLab side of the dock.
  The TRS was supposed to reboost Skylab using this port.
  
  The decision not to send an Apollo to reboost SkyLab was made almost
  entirely on the premise that Shuttle would be flying long before
  Skylab deorbited. But Shuttle was late and atmospheric expansion in
  that Solar Maximum was greater than expected. End result: chunks of
  Skylab in the Australian outback.
