I don't see why not.  I've used my smoker for both for years.  Smokers don't
get as hot as grills, so don't tend to result in grease burning when smoking
meats.  As a result there really isn't any issue with transferring flavors
between them and chiles.

Of course some pellet smokers (like Traegers) can burn hot enough to grill
meats, so I guess it depends on the smoker you get and what you use it for...
