[seqfan] Numbers expressed in non-decimal bases

Is it appropriate to enter a sequence consisting of the representation of a 
number in a base other than 10, if the number is naturally expressed in that 
base? I've been working on some numbers related to Gosper Island, which is 
inhabited by flowsnakes. The boundary of Gosper Island is generated by breaking 
a segment (a side of a hexagon) in three pieces and bending it, then breaking 
them each in three pieces, and so on. So a distance along the perimeter is 
naturally expressed in base 3.
