Yes the zerk fitting hole can be drilled in place but the axle and bearing has to be out. Jim Kanomata has a jig available that works great. You just need a 6” long 1/8” drill bit. You also have to cut grooves in the bearing spacer with a Dremel tool.
Then tap threads into the outside hole and thread in a grease fitting.

The only problem with this is that you must first determine whether there us wear on the hub or inside if the knuckle.
You can do this with calipers but an expert like Dave Lenzi and others will do it properly which is why the recommendation to ship them off for rebuilding.
