Eventually? It is possible. You could probably make a thin wrapper to convert basic Dockerfiles into a native Nix system configuration. But running Docker images on Nix is easy and making Docker images from Nix is pretty easy so there really isn't a need to get rid of the Dockerfile itself.
Also given that a blog post posted today is already sort-of out of date [1] when it comes to Nix, it is going to take a while. (Not that it really matters for the context of this blog post).
[1] Despite being an 'experimental' feature, the future of Nix is Flakes which are most simply a function definition (inputs & outputs) with the inputs pinned via hashes.
