Does anyone know if you can add the backlighting to an aluminum powerbook that wasn't purchased with the backlight?

is this even possible?

No.

You'd have to get a replacement keyboard and the whole light sensor assembly -- and frankly, as an owner of a PB with the backlighting, it's not all that useful.
