I had the same question a year ago. I don't think it is possible. 
I'm been using the public domain program 'pcomm' ver. 2 by Emmet P. Gray. 
It has xmodem protocol support and works over the sio port. It's similar
to the MSDOS Procomm program in case you are familar with it. I basically
downloaded the program, compilied it under system 5 and it ran without
much problem. This program was posted in comp.sources.unix back in 
Sept. 88. If you need it, drop me an e-mail and i will shar them off.

Also if you are flexible, C-kermit 4e(72) from the Columbia
University archives also works on the Apollos.  One site to ftp the kermit
source is watsun.cc.columbia.edu (128.59.39.2).
