Yes it is possible for one to be a Hanafi and not be a Sufi (and vice-versa). They are complementary rather than substitues as they deal with different aspects of Islam, namely that the former is a school of law (fiqh) and thus deals with the external self whilst the latter deals with the purification of the inner self as faqirah has already detailed above.
