yes, I think it is possible. I think about how you can pass the information about the direction. Maybe a new tag mkgmap:dir with the values mkgmap:dir=forward, mkgmap:dir=backward and mkgmap:dir=both, the last being the default?

Yes that's the question we are wondering about on the forum too. If the node is part of one way it would get the direction of that way.
See this node http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2644156384 It is part of two ways. Both have the same direction. So for the tag traffic_sign:backward or motorcar:backward=no this would imply the node should get the same direction.
If both ways have different directions, or if the node shares more ways, backward and forward doesnt seem to make sense to me?
I agree. Another problem that I see is that mkgmap might create redundant route restrictions for this example, but that would just blow up the img size. On the other hand, the link-poi-to-ways code somehow assumes that a POI is only used in one way, I am not even sure that it really works well if this is not the case. Gerd
