Unfortunately, it is not. Siege engines are hardcoded and unmoddable.

You COULD make a reaction that takes a skull and gives you a "skull" rock boulder, and shoot that, though.

1)Insert Goblin into pit.
2)Insert Water into pit.
3)Insert lava into pit.
4)Mine resulting obsidian (Smoothing and engraving optional, but won't affect performance)
5)Load catapults.
6)Destroy goblin invasion using its own species as ammunition.
I wonder if it's possible to mod goblin sculls to be fired from catapult.
It's not (yet?), sadly. Hence the obsidian creating steps between 1 and 5.

Let's face it though, if we could fire skulls from the catapult, next we'd be demanding to fire live livestock or some bizarre thing.

Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

Firing livestock was really done, actually.

Build a grid of floor grates above the entire city. Draft a squadron of masons and bomb the crap out of the city with falling constructed walls.

Someone who has random urges to make mog juice isn't exactly going to care about the cost effectiveness of obtaining it.

Why would the people on one side of the wall want to deliver food to the people on the other side of the wall?

They didn't fire live livestock.  They'd fire dead, rotting livestock to spread disease and encourage rat population growth.

Ahh, that makes sense.
