Yes it will work on those as well.

In the SUS install instructions, are the registry entries to for doing the
config manually on each machine, which I've done on the XPHome machines we
have here as well.

Random and motley setup?  No, not really.  I would think (though not
attempted or tried) that on a laptop that travels, and is back in every so
often could still be handled.  How?  The way one of the policy settings
controls that.  If a machine has missed "checking in" on the
pre-configured timetable, it will attempt when it's next turned on (machine
off over night).  There is a setting, that determines the time delay for
that to happen.  I would think that would also be the case if the SUS
server was not available (machine is not on the local lan at the time it
checks), and the next time it's brought in, and finds the server, it would
start updating.
