Yes. nesC is simply a C dialect. You can put all of your C code inside  
a component and just run it from there.

The one problem you might run into, though, is TinyOS is an operating  
system. Therefore, it assumes it controls hardware resources, and most  
drivers use its abstractions (e.g., timers). If your C code assumes it  
can start messing with random control and data registers, you might  
run into some problems.
