I would assume so. The track pad and touch pad are multi finger touch sensing products, so the handwriting and the gestures that work along with it should work just fine if Apple ever implements it into OSx.
Personally I think the handwriting is absolutely perfect for entering your passcode to gain access to your iOS device. I especially like it for this task since in passcode entry mode, it will not echo back the digit or character you wrote. And if your passcode is only digits, then it automatically defaults to numbers mode when you switch to handwriting...another time saver. Take care.
