Is that possible? Dragonborn claims it can be applied to any living creature after all.

Yes. You end up with a tiny, ugly ratty looking dragon. It's type is Fey (Dragonblood), it has -8 str, +4 dex, +0 con, -2 int, +6 wis, -6 cha, and it loses the ability to speak to rats.

Not bad for a Druid TBH. Wildshape will remove the negative physical scores, and the wisdom boost stays.

It would be neat if Dragonborn didn't stipulate an alignment that Druids cannot possess. As it stands, it's inconvenient.

A Jermlaine Swordsage that wanted more out of Diamond Mind and some more HP could use the Dragonborn Jermlaine chassis, but losing some of that Dex penalty hurts. Would be fun, though. Whip up some Feycraft daggers (because you can do that) and go to town with Insightful Strikes, what with your being nigh-unhittable and everything. The other attacks wouldn't work as well on account of having Tiny weapons and -8 Str.

Prerequisites: In order to be accepted as a suitable
candidate, the supplicant must be non-evil and have an
Intelligence score of at least 3.

I don't think druids have to be evil.

The only possible hang-up is in the fluff text it states that "Each one enters the world as a half ling, an elf, a human, or a member of some other humanoid race with all that race’s propensities and traits."

Since the prerequisites specifically leave the requirement to be humanoid out, I consider this to be purely fluff text, because.. well the specific rules entries take precedence over general fluff text that doesn't use rules-language. YMMV.
