would that be a "L", EF or just an EF-S zoom? makes a big difference! looking at Tamron and Sigma, and nikon it can be achieved (150-600mm) but it will be just a matter of economics for canon!
I was assuming a lens the quality of the L and DO series. Those 600mm 3rd-party zooms are not as rugged or as sharp wide open (although they're fine when you fill the frame and don't have to crop much).
They are very good in relative (price/performance) and absolute terms. If you want ruggedness there's Sigma S or a little less Tamron G2. If you want hand holdable lens there are all light enough. Sigma S maybe the only exception.
Here's one shot from my terrace few moments ago. Sigma C hand held and wide open.
