having private key can do it, how about to achieve it?
From my limited theoretical computer science knowledge, the
probability of being able to generate the same key is something like
2^{-64} or the like.
As a practical user, the answer would be a no. If this were possible,
we'd have hundreds of PGP/GPG users floating around with similar keys! :-)
