Yes.

What kind of peripheral?

We have network support, so we can talk to network-connected 
peripherals.

We already have a primitive SerialPort class that works for many 
devices.

There is also OSProcess that will let you call external programs, etc.

There is also FFI for some systems that lets you call into shared 
libraries.

And you can make plugins to talk to other things.
