Indeed.  Of course, you'll need to set the appropriate permissions for
/dev/parport*.  If need be, any drivers that use /dev/port could be
made to run as root by setting permissive permissions on /dev/port,
although of course that's far less than ideal!

The libieee1284 project is progressing quite well.  We support several
different platforms now.
