Do you mean make io.{binary,text}_{input,output}_stream out of a file
descriptor, or make make a file descriptor an instance of the stream
type classes?

Both would be possible, although possibly the io module doesn't export
everything necessary for external code to do it at the moment; the
latter would just be a matter of defining the require type classe
instances.
