I wonder if the sort of color video voodoo the Dr. Who restoration team has done with episodes  that exist as black and white prints could be possible with this?

Unfortunately, no. IIRC, the BBC team relied heavily on the fact that the video was transferred via a composite medium by using information gleaned from the dot crawl to figure out which color caused the interference in the luma (B&W) channel in the first place.

 Actually, I was thinking of how they took the color signal from a fan's Betamax recordings and combined it with the monochrome 16mm.

 Yes, this is quite possible to do, basically you would register the 16mm print to the other source of choice (laserdisc, DVD whatever) and then you could take the luma from the 16mm and overlay the chroma from the other source, it works a treat.
