Yeah, you can do it. You'll have to manually create your tasks and schedule them in each of your project files. That's essentially duplicating what's int he project files for Votive. I would say, even though it's going to be some work, you'd still be better served by building Votive projects and using those through MSBuild.
Anything you would do would be a poor man's version of that anyway. Using Votive shouldn't affect your existing project files or custom tasks in any way. In fact, if you have your projects in one solution (or can put them in one for build support) then you can create as many or as few Votive projects as you like without touching the existing project files. This is exactly the configuration I use.
