I don't see why not. hwclock lives in the /sbin directory so it will be on the root partition along with /lib, so it should be able to run before the rest of the filesystem is mounted in the S35mountall.sh script. But for some reason I feel like I am missing something as to why it is setup the way it is. Anybody else care to add a comment on this?
