in thread Anagram matching

I've seen that question, and I even posted a reply to it. I feel that my question here is a little more simplified. I'm looking for a single regular expression that can do this match without having to split and re-assemble everything. It seems like it should be possible, but am I incorrect in that belief?

    My gut feeling that requiring a solution to be in a single regular expression will necessarily be both more complicated and slower.
