I'm not sure about that. It's my understanding that the Channel API depends on generated Javascript, so if you can interpret that, why not? I haven't looked much into how comet is being implemented in the Channel API - I know there's a long-polling implementation as a fallback. Using a non-browser client would be an undocumented use case, but I don't see why it couldn't be done.
