Yes it is possible; I've done this too.  spandsp and rxfax with some shell 
scripting and tiff2ps and ps2pdf seem to work fairly well.  Spandsp is *very* 
sensitive to the version of libtiff on your system.

Googling for "Asterisk fax to email gives me these two links:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Fax+to+email
http://scottstuff.net/blog/articles/2004/03/28/faxing-with-asterisk

The system I used is based on the latter link.
