Is it possible to use illustrator brushes in Inkscape? And if so how would you do it.

Provided you have access to Illustrator (and not just the brush files), yes.
In Illustrator, start a new document and drag-n-drop your desired brush into it. Save as an SVG and import into Inkscape.
Before you can use the brush object on a path you may need to fiddle with it a bit because 'Pattern along path' expects a path not an object. For my test I had to ungroup the brush and combine it (for some reason 'union' made the brush complete disappear). This got me an inverted path (the pattern was cut out from a solid background) so I had to draw another shape and use 'difference' to get it back to how the brush should have been.
There might be an easier way.

Hm... I wish there was a brush tool in Inkscape :) It would certainly be easir to use than "Pattern along path". Is such a tool in the current development roadmap?

Yeah, it's a part of Googles Summer of Code 2007 - http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Googles_Summer_Of_Code#Live_Path_Eff...
