Yes, the IRLink can control the PF IR receiver. For instance, here is autonomous
Bulldozer sumo, using only slightly modified stock kits "driven" by NXTs:

I believe you can, although I don't have an IR train to confirm it with. The
NXT-G block to control the IRLink has been updated on occasion, so perhaps they
didn't have the right firmware on the sensor to do it.
Notice that in the video, there are as many as 8 motors being independantly
controlled: each bulldozer used two PF channels, and each channel can control
two motors, so crosstalk isn't a huge issue... until you go above 8 motors,
anyway.

The Bulldozer actually has four motors: two medium, and two XL, as well as two
receivers, a single remote, & the battery box.
