Is that possible?

You are free to licence the code you wrote under any terms that suit you, so of course you can release your code under a BSD licence. That is true even of code that uses fltk API's.
The fltk lib itself is licenced under GPLv2 with specific extensions to support (i.e. permit) static linking (which the GPL would normally preclude.)
There is little prospect of being able to re-licence the fltk lib, but I don't think you'd need to in this case.
