Yes, anything can be used as swap space, but be sure to determine the correct 
device file, or else you'll overwrite precious data.
If, for example, you have the Linux swap on the second slice on the first IDE 
drive, the device file would be: /dev/ad0s2 (at least for 4.9, I think for 
5.X it's /dev/ad0s2c but I'm not sure).
