I would think so. Our current GitHub code contains (among other 
implementations) generic SHA512 macros in src/opencl_sha512.h which is 
then used in src/opencl/office2013_kernel.cl and 
src/opencl/pbkdf2_hmac_sha512_kernel.cl.

These are raw single-block functions though, for performance reasons. 
Perhaps you need to hash data longer than 112 bytes, eg. with generic 
"init-update-finish" style functions? I don't think we have any such 
thing for OpenCL SHA512 right now but it's easily accomplished with 
generic Merkel-Damgard wrappers. If you know that stuff it's easy.
