Yes. ALSA programs like pmidi already use these ports. I guess your games want an OSS-compatible port like /dev/midi. Such device files require a device driver, so load snd-virmidi in addition to your snd-intel8x0 driver, and connect it to a Timidity port (e.g. "aconnect 72:0 128:0"), then instruct your program to use /dev/midi01.
