Not possible. Firstly nvidia doesn't manufacture the chips, second I doubt anyone has the tools required to manufacture the old VSA100 chips on the specific 250 nm manufacturing process, third finding the specific SDR ram chips would be difficult. Then there is the whole issue of PCI/AGP.
It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to retool the labs to manufacture the chips.
If you then went crazy and finished the VSA101 chip for DDR, then that is another process entirely, you may as well just keep selling the 980Ti for serious profit.
Companies are all about making money. If nvidia thought there was any profit in it they'd probably do it. You might sell 5,000 cards tops and then the market would be flooded.
