It is, actually, you just have to use the Flickr API to get the URL of
the picture.

Here's the basic code you'd write.

function flickr_func($atts, $content = null) {
	// $content contains the ID number
	// do the flickr API stuff here to get the photo URL.. you might want
to cache this value somewhere
	return "<img src='PHOTO_URL' />";
}
add_shortcode('flickr', 'flickr_func');

The "flickr API stuff" would be what you find here:
