You betcha. Infinite baffle or open baffle, either one would work well with this driver. I think I would lean towards the infinite baffle approach though, as it is essentially a very large box, approximating an infinite space. The open baffle approach would have to be very large to work at subwoofer frequencies. Even then, excursion is high, so I'm not sure that's a good approach for subs. And unless outdoors or in a very large room, the directional lobes created from a dipole arrangement would be modified by wall reflections, so that aspect wouldn't be going for you either. My thinking is dipoles are probably best suited for midrange frequencies, not bass.
