Yes you can do this. In fact, I have a dado set made for my circle saw.
The blades are about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. The holes on the dado set
are larger than the arbor on the saw. A set of various length sleeves come
with the set. The sleeves take up the space between the arbor and the
blades. For 2 blades you use the 1/4" sleeve more blades require a longer
sleeve. The dado blades fit inside the diameter of the guard.
Strictly rough cut results but handy for cutting half lap joints on 2 by 4
stock.

Assuming I can get the dado by the blade guard (or remove it), is
there any reason a dado blade will not work in a circular saw?

Never even heard of that Leon. Do you recall who made/makes it? I've put
2 7-1/4" blades on my Milwaukee dropfoot before without a problem for
drainage slots in a wood ramp/walkway (had to leave off the washer but
it worked fine.). If anyone tries this just remember to take your time,
don't try to horse it.
