Well, only if you are deploying to OS 9, and only if they were Type 1, 
not Type 2 XCMDs/XFCNs. That said, however, it is very rare that there 
is an external that I've run across where I couldn't encapsulate the 
same functionality using a custom Transcript function. And doing so 
would make it completely cross-platform and OS X compatible, so it is 
the best way to go, IMHO.
