Well, you'd have to write platform-specific webcam interfacing code, 
which would be kindof annoying.

However, blender is most definitely not meant as a photography-based 
stop motion animation suite :) 
That's not the purpose of blender, so I highly doubt something like what 
you suggest will ever happen;
*unless* theres some additional benefit to doing it.
