No, you're right, you can. But like incest and country dancing, just because you can doesn't always mean you should :-)
I think on most hubs it's fine, but on some the fixed hub has fewer threads. It depends on the hub, though. If I were buying a bike new I'd want to just get a fixed/free hub in the first place instead of fannying about worrying over whether the freewheel was ok or not. But, y'know, that's me, other people don't mind so much.
