Not that anybody probably cares...

but component video cables can definitely support a 1080p signal. The real issues are:
-do you have a source that can output 1080p component?
-do you have a display that can support 1080p component?
The first is "illegal" (HDCP). Due to that, the second is not *typically* made available in most consumer displays. I can assure you that BD players that put out 1080p component are available, just as but less commonly as region-free BD players are (also technically "illegal", but easily available outside the U.S.). There are (were?) numerous "consumer" displays that will accept 1080p component. The ones I know of were not cheap, such as the Pio 141, and presumably other related "non-TV" models.
Edit: I should say that it's hard to imagine anybody nowadays would use/want 1080p component, but 5+ years ago there was still some demand.
