I can't imagine why not.  Phil makes a ton of BB options and I know their square taper BBs have a decent amount of lateral adjustment so you can really fine tune the chainline.

I use a Phil Wood square taper BB with an Alfine IGH - works great.

safe riding,

Interesting idea - what crankset would you put with the bottom bracket?

Incidentally I note that Phil Wood also makes an eccentric shell (don't know if it will fit though)
