Sure, but only if you want to use it for spindle speed override, 
feedrate override, or axis jogging :)  It's probably possible to use one 
for single-stepping through G-code as well, but I don't think anyone has 
done a sample config for that yet.  (You still wouldn't be able to step 
backwards, since EMC2 can't do that)

All you need is a couple of extra input pins and some software 
configuration work.  These can be on a parallel port or any other 
hardware supported by EMC2.  You can use software pulse counting for a 
handwheel, since the pulse rate will be low.  I don't see a sample 
configuration that has jogwheel support in it, but I know there's 
information in the wiki at <http://wiki.linuxcnc.org>.

If you need a hand, just email away or join us on IRC.
