Yes. However you should note that there are valid reasons for keeping agents separate from the central management server. It is the place where integrity databases and audit trails reside. They are stored, collected and processed there so having the machine perform any unrelated functions means opening potentially it up for unauthorized access, potentially affecting integrity and potentially adding performance drains. Or in short, think:
eggs, basket.

I assert you haven't read the OSSEC documentation completely. Please do so.
