Yup.

You don't need any version of  the original Quake application installed to 
use FuhQuake. You do need the ID1 folder with pak0.pak and pak1.pak of 
course to have all the standard levels. (pak0.pak is the free downloadable 
demo/shareware version that just includes episode 1, and is included in 
eQuake, pak1.pak is what you get when you buy the game.)

I think eQuake includes SOME levels from pak1.pak; initially it included the 
main multiplayer levels (DM2/4/6) and a handful of single-player levels from 
episodes 2-4 that show up commonly on online servers, which would be 
playable even in the absence of pak1.pak, but there were, unsurprisingly, 
some copyright concerns so I'm not sure if they're still in the package (or 
maybe they still are and they're just not advertising it as much).

The full pak1.pak is the only file you need to play the entire Quake game 
that's not included in eQuake; you need to get it from your Quake CD (or a 
friend), and it can replace the pak1.pak that comes with eQuake. You can 
also order a downloadable version from the id site, but it's pretty shocking 
that they charge *$25* for a 7 year old game, particularly when they're not 
even including the CD, booklet, etc. (They'd probably make more money 
charging $5 instead; I'd probably have paid that just to download it faster, 
rather than hooking up my old Mac to transfer it over from...)
