Of course you can.
At very worst what happens is that it cannot notify clamd if your have
the option Notify in freshclam.conf set.
Sometime, when one upgrades, say from 0.92 to 0.93, then the database
formats are not compatible and clamd won't start anyway.
So then all you CAN do is run freshclam first.
