Yes, sure.

You can query the elements for their geometry, retrieve the faces from that, and call the Face.Intersect method:

Note that it works on the unbounded faces, not the bounded ones, as we recently discussed and discovered:

Oh.

Re-reading your question, I not that you are not asking for the intersection curve between two non-planar faces, but the intersection area between to coplanar ones.

Afaik, the Revit API does not provide any support for that.

For that, you can resort to a stand-alone 2D Boolean operation library instead:
