Yes.

What distcc reccomends (Masquerading section in manpage) is:
   mkdir -p /usr/lib/distcc/bin
   cd /usr/lib/distcc/bin
   ln -s ../../../bin/distcc gcc
   ln -s ../../../bin/distcc cc

etc.

So if you do the same for your favorite compiler it should invoke distcc
instead of the real compiler.

Do not forget to set your PATH envvar to specify /usr/lib/distcc/bin
before the real compiler's path.
