I don't know why you couldn't. You can get an intro to what libevent can do for you at http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/ . Only you can decide whether that functionality is a good fit for your program, though.
Certainly, it can be done; http://hg.qmsk.net/evfuse.hg/file/0b92d553400a/src/evfuse.h http://hg.qmsk.net/evfuse.hg/file/0b92d553400a/src/evfuse.c (fix the code to use your own error handling)But this requires that you use libfuse's low-level API, since the normal high-level/path-based API is completely synchronous. But if you're willing to work with the asynchronous low-level/inode-based API, it's works very well.
