Is back-button autofocus possible on the Nikon D7000?

Question

A while back I asked about the purpose of back-button autofocus and got several answers. The Nikon D7000 lacks the "AF ON" button that's present in some higher-end cameras.

Is it possible to use custom settings to configure the D7000 for some sort of back-button autofocus arrangement? If so, does one lose anything compared with a camera with a true back button dedicated for that purpose?

Essentially, the camera is too small to accommodate an AF-ON button. You can map this function to the AF-L/AE-L button by changing custom setting f5. You will not be able to use the button for autofocus lock or auto-exposure lock if you do so.
