It should be possible, but it would be more interesting doing it in Varnish itself.

CSS and JS minification on a do_minify has been done before, using the same code logic and strategy used for the do_gzip compression support (even keeping the compressed ESI goodness). So replacing gzip or adding this new library and keep gunzip for decompression, could be an idea.
