Yes, it is possible.
Just make sure that the client have classic yum repo file available on 
disk (there is many way how you can create it there).
When the machines are registered to Spacewalk, Spacewalk will know about 
all installed packages (just name and version-release).
However you could not manage those package (upgrade to newest version, 
install particular package etc.) and Spacewalk will just display current 
status.
