Argh. Why am I so late to this thread?
This is possible. Your BrowserID provider can do public/private key auth. You could have an identity that is provided for (you could do this yourself on your own domain) that you authenticate to via a private key.
That's how flexible this protocol is. The provider has a huge range of discretion about how the account is authenticated.
