Yes, you can.

What you can do is mount all the shares that you want, quit the Finder, and then launch SNAX. SNAX will show the shares as mounted, and you can drag them into your toolbar. This is what I've done with my iDisk.
You could also see if there are any third party applications that let you mount AppleTalk shares. There are apps like that for SMB shares, I know that. You could also look for instructions on how to mount shares or connect to AppleTalk via the Terminal.
As for the Finder's copy/paste features, SNAX's file management is vastly superior. If you want to move a file, just use the Move command, which brings down a sheet asking you to navigate to the destination folder. You can also use the Copy To and Duplicate commands to achieve similar results. SNAX also has spring-loaded folders, and its icon view is much better than the Finder's, especially when you utilize the path display bar beneath the toolbar, which is also spring-loaded.
Hope this helps. The only reason the Finder is still around is because, for some reason, theme switching applications require it to be running.
