Yeah, it's possible, I've been doing it for quite some time now. Though
if your .bib files use entry types and/or fields that are not defined in
BibTeX, you should customise `ebib-entry-types' to make sure all they
are known to Ebib.

If your Emacs is set up to support utf-8, then you can use it in Ebib as
well, since Ebib uses Emacs for encoding support.

BTW, if you're up for it, you can also use the devel branch from the git
repository: it includes much better BibLaTeX support. It recognises
BibLaTeX entry types, properly handles field inheritance from
crossreferenced entries and deals with entry type and field aliases that
BibLaTeX defines for legacy BibTeX support. Plus, there are a few other
improvements that aren't directly linked to BibLaTeX.

It requires Emacs 24.3, though, and the documentation is not yet
up-to-date (though you can ask here if you run into trouble). Also, some
bugs may pop up here and there, but I'm using devel myself and try to
fix bugs immediately.
