Yes, but some rewrites is required.

1) If your EBNF have (indirect) left recursion, you have to eliminate it 
because the DSL which ctpg uses to generate parser is based on PEG, 
parsing expression grammar.
For details, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar .

2) As the example of parsing simple arithmetic expression shows, the 
parser generated by ctpg have type such as int and string.
EBNF doesn't have type system so you have to add appropriate type 
conversion into your EBNF.
