hmmm....veeery good question (and really a quite interesting idea!) 
I guess that would surely mean a lot of work, certainly no piece of cake...
But as we are dealing with the same engine in principle, it might be possible.
Although many features from Civ4 are not part of Civ4Col, there is a lot of remnant code. One would have to investigate the structure/files of VanillaCiv compared to Rhye's, and then trying to merge into Civ4Col. I unfortunately do not have enough modding skills to do so...
On the other hand: implementing these features 1:1 into Civ4Col Vanilla may not be wise anyway for two reasons.
1) the AI is already dumb, I don't think the AI can handle its survival being furthermore limited by features like stability.
2) Civ4Col is (and should not be) Civ4. Several important features (like happiness, religions, maitenance) are not part of Civ4Col gameplay, so it's very questionable if the mentioned features from Rhye's would make any sense at all...
In the Civ4Col creation section you will find quite similar ideas and discussions about enhancing Colonization gameplay with its own feature possibilities.
