Citrix Web Interface can be directly replaced with APM. It's supported OOTB. You COULD do it yourself too, in much the same way. A lot of the stuff in the APM solution is driven by javascript talking to the XML Brokers via the LTM. However it would be a lot of work. And you'd need to support it yourself instead of having fun with the APM code that F5 have slaved over for you :)
The XML broker itself can't really be easily replaced with LTM. It needs to talk too deeply into Citrix itself to know where apps are running, kickoff new apps etc. But the web interface is certainly one that can be replaced.
