Yes, you can screen spot colors. I've done it before. You can't do it with metallic inks, though. However, I once designed a brochure with one spread that was printed in PMS black and silver, and I wanted some areas of the black to grade off into silver. So they printed the silver plate first, and then screened the black. The end result looked great, although it took the printer some figuring to arrive at a solution.
Whatever you do though, use a gradient rather than overlapping transparency effects. The printer might have to tweak your files to make everything look right, but it's their job to know how to handle that.
