Yes, for example, fmincon that depends on Sci-IPOpt

-->atomsSetConfig('Verbose','True');

-->atomsInstall fmincon;
     fmincon (0.1) will be installed in the 'allusers' section
     sci_ipopt (0.1) will be installed in the 'allusers' section
     Installing fmincon (0.1) ... success
     Installing sci_ipopt (0.1) ... success

-->atomsRemove fmincon
     fmincon (0.1) will be removed from the 'allusers' section
     sci_ipopt (0.1) will be removed from the 'allusers' section
     Removing fmincon (0.1)(allusers) ...  success
     Removing sci_ipopt (0.1)(allusers) ...  success

AtomsGui only uses Atoms command line functions. So yes.

To test a local package that depends on others, just load them in your 
.scilab,

exec("dependency1/loader.sce")
exec("dependency2/loader.sce")
...
