Not really. levers designed for V brakes pull too much cable for calipers. It will "work" after a fashion but it will feel very wooden and not give a lot of power.
You either need a brake lever designed for old canti style brakes or you need a set of V brakes for the dual levers.
There may be some sort of adaptor out there but I only know of ones that hook road (short pull) levers up to V brakes (long pull arms).
