I'm pretty sure it is a skill that can be developed, but one that has not been very forthcoming for me. It doesn't help that I do a lot of screaming/growling, which is counter intuitive to correct intonation of singing notes. All the people that I sing with locally are tenors or baritones, and haven't put effort into developing the higher registers.
I wouldn't have developed it either, but back in high school, the women's choir rehearsal for contest was before men's rehearsal, so, being in the choir, I had to stay after school and keep myself entertained for an hour or so. I aspired to sing better than the women in my choir, (because I was already the best male singer, or so I thought in my little brain) and sang in their rehearsals. The director didn't let me, so I sat outside and sang along anyway while people in the hallway gave me strange looks. Currently my counter-tenor voice hasn't proved any use except to entertain myself. My alto friends think it is unfair because I can sing almost as high as them and far lower than them. (and then I think what it would be like to have perfect pitch... to be able pull any pitch out of thin air and get frustrated by hearing quarter tone scales)
