Not if you only want to use Share. Share encapsulates DataTree usage  
completely. It should be possible to create Share classes that don't  
use DataTree at all.
If you want to provide the Permission API without DataTree too, it  
gets more complicated, and you're probably better done with writing an  
LDAP driver for DataTree.
