It is possible but even a small project, I do recommend you to use HMGenS 
because it supports small model set and much more flexible than mlpg in SPTK.
Furthermore, mlpg in SPTK is not maintained for a long time.

So which version of HTS are you using?
If you are using HTS-2.0, HRest can generate state duration pdf by specifying -g option.
If you don't, use HTS-2.0.
