Yes, any unit can be a general unit. Starting characters (in descr_strat) can also have units that are not general-units at all.

Are you referring to the actual officer or his bodyguards unit? The officer can be made to be spearmen instead of swordsmen, but generally switching from the vanilla dagger animation results in some odd movements when issuing commands(you may have noticed that the officers raise their swords when the unit is commanded to move/attack/etc.).
