No. Not using Bluetooth LE, since there is no support for acting as a "server" device that can be discovered by other peers. It's sure to come someday, but right now it's only possible using a rooted phone.
It maybe possible that Firechat uses either Wifi Direct, which is supported on most modern Androids or classic Bluetooth, although the discovery/connection requires user interaction.
From what I recall, @derwildemomo (OP) has experimented with this, but the current smartphone stacks are a bit fragile for that kind of workload. I'm sure he can go a bit more into detail once it's not in the middle of the night in Germany :)
