Is it possible? Sure. Should you do it? No. The Mac does not have an MDI interface in the Windows sense, and you shouldn't try to fake it.
Ditch the parent window entirely. If there are toolbars or palettes in the main window, make them floating panels on the Mac. The child windows on Windows should simply be top-level windows on the Mac.
