Your question is way too generic. Of course it is possible to come up with the design where within certain limitations
(Site physical structure, naming conventions, Linking conventions, etc...) you'd be able to generate bread crumbs automatically.
Is it possible with any design whatever? No, but that's an obvious answer

This is very implementation related question, but to answer you question, YES , breadcrumbs can be created automatically, but there is no straight forward way of doing this, you need to write your own scripts to do the same.

The first thing to think about is, if you were to template breadcrumbs, where would/could TeamSite get the breadcrumb information? Or perhaps how would TeamSite know what the breadcrumb is?

The trick is to somehow store the structure of your site somewhere in TeamSite...which you are probably doing in terms of your branch and directory structure. Then, it's just a matter of figuring out how to leverage that information.
