Totally doable. Here I built a proof of concept of a DHT over Tor using IPFS's DHT libs: https://github.com/cretz/tor-dht-poc https://github.com/cretz/tor-dht-poc. I even went so far as making it readable (but not participate-able yet) via JS in Tor Browser though it's IPFS doing the heavy lifting.
I would guess you'd just start a different IPFS network, not the main one, and have a set of reliable onions as bootstrap nodes. Then just store the torrent info from its hash like BT mainline and I guess have people pin it. I have not dug too deeply, but in general an entire IPFS network all over Tor is very doable. Now, that's for a tracker, for actually downloading the data that's a different deal.
