Is it possible to run dynamic panel model with fixed effects using
-xtivreg2-? Does it provide a consistent estimator?
I am asking this question because I am aware of the problematic with
lagged dependent variable and FE in the standard least squares setting
(Nickell bias of order 1/T).  The story becomes even more worse if the
residuals are serially correlated.

No. The Arellano-Bond dynamic panel data approach is the way to go to  
deal with the Nickell bias (xtabond, xtabond2, or the newer commands  
available in Stata 10).
