I guess so. If you have a working driver for it. Maybe you need to configure it to behave as mouse or keyboard. IoQuake only has additional support for Joysticks (and I've never tested that).
Ingame, try to see whether keybinds work in the controls menu, simply test whether you can apply your controller's buttons :)

I used to play Q3 with a PC game pad. I used the "Joystick" key mapping, so I would imaging Smokin' Guns wouldn't be any different. Try it, if it works it works, if not oh well. (Note: I have heard of people using xbox controllers on PC but they don't have a second analog stick. This might have changed since then)

Yes the xbox 360 controller works with windows and games that support it. If you are running vista or windows 7 it will install the 360 controller drivers for you when you plug the controller in.

See this pagefor more details and software download for other versions of windows.

As far as the controller working with SG, I have no clue. Games for windows that work with the controller have built in support for it, SG does not have built in support for the 360 controller. You might be able to map the controller buttons but I have never tried it, I don't game on PC anymore..
