Definitely.

Some of the projects I work on don't actually use "make" to build the
software product.  But they still have a Makefiles with targets for
things like formatting documentation, installing the software on a
target, tagging and archiving a version, generating a tarball of GPL
sources, updating source trees from upstream, etc...
