Yes, You should be able to, but make sure your not trying to put a bike
hub onto a unicycle, but if it is just the rim, you can put a
unicycling hub in there, put in the spokes, then be fine.

What so different about a unicycle hub then is it just stronger?

well, on a bicycle, it is chain driven, so the hub on a bicycle wheel,
only have the bolts that come out the attach to the axel and get bolted
on there.

On a unicycle, the ratio is 1:1 cause it is just a direct drive, so the
hub on a unicycle, instead of having bolts coming out, they are
cotterless or splined, so that the cranks can attach to the hub,
enabling us to pedal =p

On a bike hub, the axle stays still and the hub rotates around the axle
on bearings inside the hub.
On a unicycle hub, the axle is fixed to the hub and the whole lot
rotates in bearings held by the frame.

Of course, a giraffe unicycle is a bit different, being chain driven,
and uses a bike-type hub (fixed-gear type).
