Yes, it is possible, but it needs to re-write the code a bit.

I have stored local tiles in Googles/Openstreetmap tile format, put up a 
local apache server, and inserted new lines to the plugin directing to 
http://localhost/tiles/...

But keep in mind that Google does not like what you are doing, so keep 
it for personal use.
