Yeah, that's the catch. If spoke holes are too angled he'll get a bit of a bend at the nipple.
Still, since we don't know which rim hell be using we don't know if it'll be an issue or not. I've built wheels in lateral cross deliberately before. Don't know how much good it's actually doing me, but they remain fully serviceable w/o any hassle anyhow.

I'm not saying it's a great idea, but I'm curious about why you think it'd be impossible.

The DS side gets laced at the hub just like a regular 32H, then the rim gets hooked up with every 3rd hole empty(some adjustment of spoke length may be required.). The NDS gets laced as if it were a 16H hub.
3X might be awkward on the relatively high flange, but due to that 2X shouldn't be a problem either.
Trueing becomes a little special, with spokes needed to be dealt with more in groups and less individually.
