Sure. The interesting thing though is that a planar will have an essentially infinite number of "quarter wave lengths" since the bass frequencies are radiated over a continuous surface.It seems like the over-all effect would be a very slight reduction in a range of frquencies rather than a higher reduction confined to a single fequency.
Also, planars don't radiate from the sides so there wouldn't be the same interaction with the side walls.
And they radiate from the back so there is an additional sound source to factor in.
An interesting puzzle to solve!
