Not in the sense of running boot code from an RQDX3 as it has no boot ROM.
 It's possible to use a KDF11-A or KDJ11-A with an MXV11-B -- those were
common combinations -- with the MXV providing RAM, SLUs, and boot ROM in a
single slot. An alternative is an MRV11-D which supports the same boot
ROMs. Or you could use microPDP-11 boot ROMs in a modified BDV11, but that
would take up two slots.
