Sure, but if the fonts are licensed for being downloaded from your website (which isn't the case with typekit) it should not matter. I think the crux of the biscuit here is does the license allow you to host and serve the fonts, or must they reside on another server (which is the case with typekit and most -- perhaps all -- of the font subscription services). How the browser downloads the font file from your server is not really the issue.
