If you're operating at low-enough clock rates, then sure ...

I've done a couple of SMT boards, including some 0.5mm pins FPGA's which isn't all that fun.

You just need more practice :)
Note that there are a few places that make SMT-to-through-hole adapters, eg., Schmart Board ...
http://www.schmartboard.com/ You could solder an SMT FPGA/CPLD onto one of these and then re-use it.
