Providing the capacitor voltage, capacitance, ESR and temperature ratings are the same, and physical dimensions allow it, I can see no reason why you can't replace an SMD version with a through-hole version in your own equipment. The situation might be different in a manufacturing scenario, where EMC compliance, ease of assembly and cost are factors which need to be taken into account.
