Yes, I think so, if using the usual style of bolt-on hanger. I see lots of different hangers are available nowadays, so maybe there is a longer one that will work. As for vintage hangers, there were various ones available in the 50s that clamp onto the chain stay, for mounting Cyclo Standard (or similar) or the various derailleurs that use the two small mounting bolts. I think these tended to be the touring derailleurs from Simplex, Cyclo, etc, so would also generally provide more chain wrap than the racing derailleurs such as Simplex Tour de France.
