Yes. If an inferior Senju descendent like Nagato is capable of using the Rinnegan, then it's only natural that a reincarnate of Ashura would also be capable. Additionally, since their chakra would be mixing with the chakra in the eyes, they'd also be able to awaken the Rinnegan that way. We know this because Toneri did essentially the same thing, mixing his Otsutsuki chakra with the chakra in the Hyuuga's "pure" Byakugan to awaken the Tenseigan.
