I'm wondering if this setup can be achieved with natural light.

Linda,
Of course anything is possible, but I would think it would be pretty difficult. I don't think you could produce that pronounced a shadow down the middle with natural light on either side. There would be too much ambient light to allow it.
My guess is that the studio was pretty dark before the lights on either side of this guys face were turned on.
It does have that old Hollywood feel to it. As Gloria mentioned, it has a way of bringing both edges of the face forward, thus a bit of flattening occurs.
