Dear Dean,
yes. PRTG of course does not care how, or by which tool the data is generated. Here is a very simple Powershell example
$postParams = '{"prtg": {"text": "This sensor is added to 127.0.0.1", "result": [{"LimitMode": 1, "Value": 87, "LimitMinError": 10, "LimitErrorMsg": "Percentage too high", "Channel": "Percentage", "LimitMaxError": 90, "Unit": "Percent"}, {"Channel": "Response Time", "Unit": "TimeResponse", "Value": 4711}]}}'
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://10.49.18.119:5051/mysensortoken -Method POST -ContentType application/json -Body $postParams

Dear Dean,
yes, PRTG can receive data via HTTP using the HTTP Push Data Advanced sensor. This sensor expects an XML or JSON adhering to the PRTG custom sensor API definition. For single-channel sensors, the simpler |HTTP Push Data sensor is available. This one does not need a HTTP POST, a HTTP URL is enough.

That cannot be automated so easily. In principle you could write a maintenance script which uses the PRTG API to clone a HTTP Push Data sensor, changes its properties and starts it so it can be used as new sensor.
This requires some knowledge about the PRTG API, though, since port and/or token have to be changed.
