Yes.
Many of the current MIB implementations still use the older
UCD style.

The main disadvantages of the UCD style over the newer
handler-based APIs are:
a) It's slightly less efficient
(though probably not enough to worry about)
b) It doesn't handle as much automatically.
With the newer v5 API, particularly when implementing MIB
tables, the helpers will take care of much of the donkey work
(interpreting indexes, etc). With the UCD style of MIB, this
was all left to the MIB programmer.
But if you're happier working with the UCD approach, that's
fine - it should work OK.
One word of warning about the mib2c interface though.
The code generated is not always as accurate as we might
like - particularly when run on anything more than just a
single table. So do check the OIDs that it's trying to register
carefully.
