But if you mean is it possible to call that functionality up for
interactive use, it is! I use XEmacs, so my examples will be
for that, but it should work equally well with GNU's Emacs.
You of course must have the Gnus package installed and configured.
Then you can do
xemacs -f gnus-msg-mail
And XEmacs will come up in a buffer just as if you had been in
XEmacs and executed M-x gnus-msg-mail.
If you have an xemacs server running (it has executed gnuserv-start),
you can do the same using gnuclient,
gnuclient -f gnus-msg-mail
