There is no question that modern albumen prints can be made. You can see photographers working in albumen having a back-and-forth in the following link:

Whether someone could make a modern albumen print that is indistinguishable from a nineteenth century albumen print is another question. Nineteenth century papers tend to be very thin, and I think it would be hard to find modern papers that are that thin. Hard to find—not impossible.
