It's doable. InDesign is able to map XML elements to character and
paragraph styles during import.

InDesign is not able to reorder content of document during the import,
so usually it is better to massage DocBook content prior import, reorder
content if necessary and add aid:pstyle and aid:cstyle attributes (aid:
being InDesign namespace) with mapping information.
