Absolutely.  The C compiler generates code, that is smart enough to
use a coprocessor if it present or use the software emulator if it 
is not.  In other words, one generally need not worry about the presence
of a coprocessor.  If it is present, your program will use it, ifj it
isn't the operating system will simulate it.
