Suns and Apple LocalTalk

Is it technically possible to use the SCC that runs a Sun serial port to
access an Apple LocalTalk network (with the right software and LocalTalk
"transceiver", of course)?  All Sun-to-Mac network connectivity solutions
I've seen involve getting the Mac on the Ethernet, which is relatively
expensive.  LocalTalk hardware can't be that expensive since it's not even
optional in a Macintosh, and everybody uses the same SCC these days, don't
they?
