It's possible, probably not using an existing method, and it would be 
very useful.  I'd love to have that functionality.  I've already made 
noises about doing something like this, but never gotten around to 
actually doing it.  As for syntax, it would be far better if done as a 
warp, and since patterns are scalar it would have to have a vector to 
offset along as well.  Something like this, perhaps, to produce the 
zigzag pattern you mentioned:

warp {pigment {marble} y}
