Yes, it'/s possible. It should just happen. BrlAPI won't return to you the 
repeat flags - it should just deliver repeated events. I'm just trying to guess 
what your problem might be.

Another possibility is that you're trying to repeat a command which brltty's 
repeat mechanism filters out. It only repeats commands which "make sense". For 
example, it'll repeat "line up/down" but it won't repeat "go to to/bottom". In 
addition, because there's user disagreement on the topic, there's a flag 
(Autorepeat Panning) which governs whether or not certain horizontal motion 
commands are repeated. Perhaps you're trying to test for the repeat of a 
command which doesn't get repeated.
