I don't really know enough about the specifics to give you a good answer on this one.

It all depends on how dependent those mechanisms happen to be on working on sub-d levels rather than dealing with geometry directly.

From PaQ's reply it sounds like you would be ok to generate a normal map with this kind of method, but maybe the workflow of how displacement maps are set up to be used are more integrated into relying on the sub-d refinement process and so would not work for this.
