I've never tried this, but here's a pumpkin pie recipe from teh Splenda website:

I don't see why not. Pumpkin pie is essentially a custard. The eggs and the pumpkin provide most of the texture. The sugar serves mostly as a sweetener. As far as storage is concerned, i think it might dry out a little more easily becuase sugar holds on to moisture and it may not brown as well on the top because there will be no carmelization
