I would suspect not, under these Guidelines.

Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 8: Attainable

NOT ACCEPTABLE
Requiring caches to be found in earlier years, as it is not attainable by someone new to the game.

This doesn't specifically prohibit "X or more years", however it suggests that Challenges that are "not attainable by someone new to the game" are not publishable.

Challenge Cache Guidelines - Section 10: Source of Criteria

ACCEPTABLE
Challenge cache criteria must be based upon caches with the seeker’s logs: Found it!, Attended, Webcam Photo Taken.

This suggests that Challenge caches should entirely be based on caches that players have found. "How long has a player's account existed" does not fit that.

...in any case, the Project-GC Checker infrastructure does not have access to the "account created date", so it wouldn't even be possible to build a checker.
