Yes. They made some interesting design decisions that become rather inconvenient in that case (e.g., having to explicitly pass the include paths for both <stdlib.h> and <msp430.h> rather than have the compiler driver figure out it), but I have prototype make support integrated into an unpublished BSP30 branch and have also used it that way in other projects. There's even a man page for each of the tools. Oddly enough, the pointy-clicky IDE under Windows is very usable, while the same version under Linux is unresponsive and has a different look-and-feel.
