Short answer? Yes.
Long answer? You don't get to use the A or Start buttons, obviously.
EDIT: Below poster makes it clear that I shouldn't rely on 12 year old memories. :)

I don't have any Genesis/MegaDrive so I can't test this myself but I was wondering if it's not going to mess up input. I mean, are the MD games aware that there could be a SMS pad connected? Because inputs from an MD pad are multiplexed and since SMS pad inputs aren't I would expect to see both B and A pressed when SMS pad '1' is pressed, or both C and START pressed when '2' is pressed...

Games that don't try to detect controllers will have happen what Sverx described.
