Most of the collision information can be passed on through lsl scripts 
with lsl triggers:

That is the most accurate you will get that will match the server side 
state, but it is not the fastest.

Faster collision will need to be simulated, but it most likely won't be 
accurate. That accuracy would mainly be offset by the sim lag and for 
only being able to have a partial capture of a physics world in the 
simulation being derived from the real simulation.

So... it is not impossible.  Practical solutions have yet to be made. 
LSL scripts is your best bet for now.
