Yes, of course. The discussion of eye dialect absolutely applies to that.
As diebirchen noted above, some writers are masters of this - Twain for the U.S. Southern/rural dialect of his day, Terry Pratchett with the outrageous fantasy brogue of the Nac Mac Feegle - but for most of us, it's not worth the likely loss in momentum as the reader puzzles through the changed spellings.
