You certainly can, although the only one I have any experience with is the stem & bars from the last generation Venge. The cables & hoses are inside the bars, and go under the stem and through the headset, fully internal, however you're not limited to the Venge stem and Aerofly II bars, either can be swapped out for standard items, Specialized supplied alternative headset cappings to accommodate this.
If at least one mainstream manufacturer has done it, there's almost certainly third-party alternatives and copies out there.
