I've been playing through the Great War Planes series with DosBox and a USB joystick, so yes it will work. And Kloreep, it's nice to have another fan of TIE Fighter around - I'm currently replaying that one as well.
Back on topic, I've never had much enjoyment playing adventure games with a joystick/pad. KQ5 and Maniac Mansion for the NES were nothing short of a chore to play with the old gamepad.
Even mouse only input is a pain at times in the QfG series. I find my response time is much faster when I can use keyboard shortcuts or a combination of the mouse and keyboard. So, keeping keyboard only for QfG2 combat is fine with me.
