Yes, saucer separation WAS possible with the Constitution-class starships from Star Trek: The Original Series, as demonstrated by this model of the U.S.S. Lexington NCC-1709.
This was described in the series bible for TOS, as well as the writers/directors guides for each season. It was never actually shown on screen due to time and budgetary concerns (heck, they could hardly afford to film a shuttlecraft departing/arriving in the shuttle bay).
Saucer separation was, however, referenced in the Season 2 episode The Apple. Kirk ordered Scotty to do it to save the Enterprise when the ship was caught in a rapidly decaying orbit:
