Sure, it will almost certainly work just fine.  I'm a little curious as to 
why you want to do it this way, though, since stirrers are almost always 
simpler and cheaper than a pump (pump seals are a hassle, and often leak, 
which makes a mess).  Do you need to have a pump there for other reasons, 
and just want to get double duty out of it? Or is there some reason why a 
motorized stirrer would be unsatisfactory?
