Wilwood makes a variety of different MC designs, so can't just say "Wilwood MC" in these types of discussions as this also needs to be qualified with a style type or part number. Smart of you to ask, as this obviously makes a huge difference.

The Mopar type with the plastic tank:
Front port = rear brakes / Rear port = front brakes
http://www.wilwood.com/Products/006-...IRMC/index.asp

The new aluminum tandem design:
Front port = front brakes / Rear port = rear brakes
http://www.wilwood.com/Products/006-...TCMC/index.asp

If you dig deep enough in the Wilwood tech links above, you will see this info listed.

If the prop vavlve is not adjustable, you will be shooting craps. Every brake system in every car is pretty much diiferent. We actually run some brake systems without a prop valve at alland they are perfect. What you can do is use the original style under the master, and if it does not work perfect hide a Wilwood adjustable near the rear

I see no good reason NOT to use an adj prop valve. The chances of lucking into having the right setting in an aftermarket setup are pretty slim.

To answer your question, yes, you could physically use a stock prop valve, but it most likely wouldn't be set right.
