Suppose I had a WCF service that I have coded up, like Clemens Vasters's XML-RPC with WCF, and want to stick a workflow behind it on the server side.

Is this possible to do with Windows Workflow? If so, how?

The toolbox ReceiveActivity appears to create the WCF service for me.

I'd prefer the answer in terms of Workflow 4.0, if possible.
