Everything is possible.

You first have to catch a right click on a node.

  private void treeView1_NodeMouseClick(object sender, TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs e) 
  {
    if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) 
    {
       treeView1.SelectedNode = e.Node;
       //Play with the context menu here.
    }
  }

On the part where you play with the context menu, you do what you want with it ( in this case make it appear at this location I guess..) You should read about the ContextMenuStrip Class for more information.
