Yes. You'll also have to replace the NumpyTest().run() by something else.
Either the new nose method or the old fashioned
if __name__ == '__main__':
     unittest.main()

Also, note that unittest.TestCase is more restrictive than NumpyTestCase
regarding the method names that are considered tests. While NumpyTestCase
accepted method names starting with check_, TestCase won't recognize those
as tests.
