Can you use the 480's glideslope to guide you into a VOR approach that
is NOT GPS, but using a descent gradient that will hit the altitude at
the waypoints as charted? Same approach as flying it by hand, just a
stabilized, even descent. Hope that makes sense.


Assuming it's a VOR(GPS) approach, and not a circle to land only, Yes. The 480 provides VNAV
guidance suitable for LNAV/VNAV or if not charted, then referred to as "advisory VNAV", but basically it
works the same - you get vertical guidance to the runway.
