If it is a straight line, no. Either it intersects it at 1 point, at no points (parallel to the plane), or the line is within the plane (coplanar).
If the line can be a curve, the answer is obviously yes (try a parabola whose vertex is on one of the hemispaces but which crosses the plane so that both arms intersect the plane at one point each).

No. A line can intersect a plane only in zero, one, or infinitely many points.

No, the line would either pierce the plane--only one point. Or, it would be on the plane and it would have all points.

One only, unless you are talking about String Theory?
