There's no reason why it shouldn't be. There are standards for a reason.

Where sub-70mm heatsinks are considered exclusively, Raijintek's Pallas comes out on top, seconded by Zalman's CNPS8900 Extreme in both the AMD 125W and Intel LG115x/775 charts. There are no other sub-70mm tall heatsinks in the LGA2011 thermal test chart, so the Pallas wins the crown here... for the time being. Fan speed caveats aside, the Raijintek Pallas heatsink is well worth your consideration.
