Yes, that's possible.  Just not with font2swf, but with swfc. :)

Create a text file, edittext.sc, with the following content:

.flash name="edittext.swf" version=6

    .font myfont "MyFont.ttf" # <--- insert font name here

    .edittext myedittext1 font=myfont size=100% 
               width=640 height=480 border color=blue
    .put myedittext1
.end

And then run
    swfc edittext.sc
.

You need the CVS version of font2swf to make this work.
Also, edittext boxes in swfc are somewhat new, so feedback 
is welcome. :)
