Yes, it can be done like this.
But cause $MONTH_NAMES is variable, someone could change the value.

// Data.cls.php
class Date {
public static $MONTH_NAMES = array('January', ...);
}

// Plugin.php
Date::$MONTH_NAMES = null; // someone don't know the meaning of the
variable

// Template.php
print Date::$MONTH_NAMES[1]; // then your code doesn't work
