It is possible but it won't be as durable since the leaded components will stress the footprints more, so vibrations or shocks could cause them to rip off the footprints.

That being said, I have done it before using the plastic bottom of the old SMD capacitors if I did not have the correct ones. That way, they will be mounted almost as close to the PCB as the originals, if you can find leaded with the same pin spacing as the old SMD ones.
