No. Simply owning a bullpup stock is illegal. The stock itself is prohibited, with or without a gun attached to it. It does not change the actual classification of the firearm, unless of course the combination of the two moves it from the non-restricted to restricted category due to overall length. Then you'd have an unregistered restricted firearm, and be in possession of a prohibited device. If the overall length still fell within the Non-restricted category, you'd simply be in possession of a prohibited device, if in possession of a PAL of course.
In the case of the sks, and the sks bullpup stock, the sks rifle itself would not become prohibited.
In Canada, all bull pup stocks are illegal, so there are no firearms that you can convert to bullpup, as the required parts to do so are prohibited devices. In the states it would depend on federal and state laws, depending on where you live. If you were allowed, it would be as simple as buying the stock, and putting the barrelled receiver into it. It is just a stock, after all.
The only bullpups we can have here, are firearms that as part of their design are in a bullpup configuration. The Tavor, Type 97, M17s etc are not placed into "stocks" to make them bullpups, so they themselves are legal.
Groovy eh how the law screws ya.
