I believe so, because modules can be loaded anywhere in memory, or run from ROM.

If I have my terms correct... OS-9/68000 and OS-9(000) used Level 1 memory management, where the memory start at 0 and count up, rather than paging blocks in and out like OS-9 Level 2 did. The MMU, if available, was used for memory protection, but it was optional (and a real drag on systems without it, since without that, you can crash anything with a stray pointer).
