At this point Inkscape only produces RGB colors. So if the printer's workflow allows for RGB submissions then yes, otherwise no.
Inkscape actually produces: a) sRGB colors when there is no profile specified; b) profile colors when an ICC color profile is specified.
The only thing Inkscape can't do is output CMYK without specifying a CMYK color profile. There might also be some rough edges in the color profile support. I think the proper way to fix this is not to introduce profile-less CMYK, because this is like giving razors to a baby, but to provide some "generic" CMYK profiles within the Inkscape distribution.
There might be an additional problem in that the definition of SVG filters is based on sRGB, and rendering and compositing is also done in sRGB; therefore it might be impossible to specify colors outside of the sRGB gamut, regardless of the chosen profile.
