So technically speaking its possible
considering css files are stored in the file system. Imagine the
posibilites when it comes to clients requests. I'm just about to start
my first umbraco site( wish me luck) for a client whom i know will
requested changes, and imagine the possibilities with customizing the UI of umbraco for clients who are looking for something branded. I'm a UI designer :) hence the references to customizing the UI.
I know this is pretty late, but I was reading these posts this weekend and decided it was as good a time as any to make my first package. Check out uLess for LESS integration. It extends the Less file viewer from uBootstrap to include the ability to add/edit/delete files from the back office directly.
.LESS intergration
Has anyone intergrate .LESS into Umbraco yet?
No, but that looks like an awesome idea.
Note to self: new package idea...
I think one of our developers at Xeed had a go at doing this. He is currently on vacation but I can find out from him if he did finish this or not.

There already is a topic about this: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/templating/templates-and-document-types/5057-DotLess-with-Umbraco. I've already created a workitem because I want it to be used in Umbraco v5 :) http://umbraco.codeplex.com/workitem/26683.

@kipuseop would be cool to read about it.

FYI, here's how you can use it along side the Client Dependency Framework which is built in to Umbraco 4.5
