No, you'll get a lot of warnings and errors due to caddr_t being used
in pointer arithmetic.  I'd rather we got rid of it altogether (as
discussed many times on -arch).  I started doing this a year ago but
gave up because I was trying to do too much (mechanically remove it
from the entire tree) and lots of stuff broke.
