Ah, okay now I know exactly what you mean.
It is likely possible for the standard editor, but it may not be possible for the WYSIWYG editor. I will look into it very soon, and post back what I find.

As I suspected, it won't work with the WYSIWYG editor (it is an inline document), but for the Standard editor you can use the following plugin:
Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: parse_templates
Title: Give Standard Editor Textarea A Placeholder
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:
PHP Code:
if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('showthread', 'newreply', 'newthread')))
$template_hook['footer_javascript'] .= '<script>
window.onload = function(){
var el = document.getElementsByClassName("cke_source");
el[el.length - 1].placeholder = "Enter Post Here...";
};
</script>';
Plugin is Active: Yes
Click "Save".
