Kind of, but not trivially. Backspace is arleady a control code, of
course, (unlike DEL), so Ctrl-Backspace doesnt mean anything is the ascii
sense. But X understands such things. You must configure your terminal
(xterm, gnome-terminal, etc. ) to bind a key-sequence to Ctrl-Backspace.
  Then you can tell your shell to bind an action to that sequence.

For Xterm, you can use *VT100.Translations resources.

Thats probably put you off. Does anyone know if gnome or kde have a 
simple, standard (gui?) way to do this?
