In principle the answer is yes.

- first question would be to ask which board with WL18xxMOD on it you would be planning to connect.
- you would need to use the SPI mode of the WL18xxMOD as there is no space MMC interface on the pocket beagle. This is normally built with CONFIG_WLCORE_SPI to give wlcore_spi.ko
The SPI mode reuses the SDIO interface on WL18xxMOD

I would question though why go for a pocket beagle +daughterboard with WL18xxMOD and antennae instead of a BBBW with WL18xxMOD on board already.
