It shouldn't be a problem, but it sometimes is: Network Solutions, FastHosts and Logic Boxes (and their resellers) have caused most problems in my experience, linking domain registration with other services when they can. Most other registrars cope fine.
If anyone would like a self-service domain registration account under the co-op's reseller account, ask on http://www.software.coop/contact/ You'll manage settings yourself and pay cost price, but the benefit is that I think when we reach sufficient volume, everyone's prices should fall - co-operation is good for everyone.
