Well, that sort of depends on what you mean. CMF allows drop-in 
workflows, defined as anything that implements the workflow tool 
interface. The default workflow is a very simple static implementation, 
and the DCWorkflow in a dynamic TTW-configurable one. So yes, DCWorkflow 
can integrate with the CMF workflow machinery: it is a CMF workflow just 
as much as the one that ships with the CMF. But no, you can't write a 
bit of workflow with DCWorkflow and stick it in the middle of the 
default workflow. Implmentations don't (necessarily) mix and match. 
Although you could duplicate the default functionality very quickly and 
then customize to suit.
