Yes (and no). I am writing this from a Jessie box running sysvinit +
OpenRC. AIUI you won't actually have to remove any packages to use
sysvinit, just install sysvinit-core and systemd-shim. I have had to pin
the systemd package -1 to prevent it being reinstalled on upgrades or on
dist-upgrades, but I expect that when Jessie is Stable that you won't
need to do that.
If you want to run or to test a pid1 other than sysvinit or systemd, then
you might have trouble. Maybe some minit-on-Jessie users on the list
could provide input?

I don't guess we'll really know for sure until the day comes- but I'm
confident that it won't be a problem for those who want it.
