Yes it works fine already with a couple of details you have to take care of.

First, each TYP file has a family id and you need to know that.

All you then have to do is add the TYP file to the list of files (making sure
that the .TYP is in upper-case) and give the correct --family-id argument.

Something like this:

 mkgmap ... --family-id=909 file.osm file.img FILE.TYP

with 909 replaced by the family id of the TYP file.

This could be improved by dealing with lower case names and by changing the
family-id in the TYP when it is copied into the gmapsupp.img.
