Ihaven't tried it but it should be possible.
When I owned a vixen SS2000 it was suppose to be able to track satellites. The scope has to flip at the 1/2 way mark as the satellite crosss the meridian when it is aimed at the south pole. Tho prevent this it was suggested that you deliberately aim the scope east or west, do a normal alignement and it is suppose to realise is is not polar aligned. It will then track across the meridian without needing to flip.
This is essentially the same as using it in Alt/Az mode. The moral to this is that it would depend on the ability of the goto (if present) to compensate for miss alignement. I know that the visen SS2000 will do it and that my synscan on an EQ6 will not do it. Not sure about other mounts.
