Could you build this?

No Adding native stereo and motion-control support to a shipped game requires hooking into the game's rendering pipeline, camera system, and input handling for two storefront versions. This is low-level reverse engineering and VR integration.

What it would actually take: A real version requires reverse-engineering Far Cry 2's engine (likely Dunia) to inject stereo rendering through D3D9 hooks or a wrapper DLL, then integrating OpenXR or a motion-controller SDK. The work needs deep C/C++ skills, graphics-pipeline knowledge, and iterative testing with VR hardware across Steam and GOG builds.
