Nearly zero. 3:10 is 7:15/mile. By mile 10 7:30 will seem like an impossible task.

Really, if I train hard for the next 6 months, zero chance? What if I'm a natural?

Lance Armstrong trained for about 6 months for his first marathon. Lance has about the highest VO2 max known. He had Alberto Salazar(pass NY winner) pace him. His time was 2:59 and lots of seconds.
Are you that much of a natural?
Your chance of winning the 2008 WSOP ME is greater than your chances of running under 3:10 on 6 months training. That assumes you currently have no run base. Meaning currently at running no miles a week.
