I think he would be up for it.

Mr. Lee has expressed that he is in good health, and has expressed interest in being involved with The Hobbit, even though he did say that going to New Zealand would be too far and for too long.

Guillermo del Toro seems determined to bring back the original actors from the trilogy, so I'll bet that they have considered all options, including filming Lee's scenes in England.

I don't think he has visibly aged much, not to mention he would be covered in make-up, a prosthetic nose, full wig and beard. Additionally, Saruman wouldn't need to look that much younger, being an Istari. Maybe a bit more "raven" in his hair.

As far as green-screen shots looking different from other characters, watch the Grey Havens scene in Return of the King. I seem to remember that Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) was filmed separately from the other actors for this scene. If that convinced us, I'm sure they can do it again 11-12 years later.

(Can anyone else confirm this about Cate Blanchett at the Grey Havens? Am I completely off the mark?)
