In a word, yes. As to how, a seasoned scripter should have it figured 
out in a few days at most. The Tootorials are a good start. In order to 
use CSound you will need to read the manuals. You can produce worthwhile 
results given enough effort. If CSound itself does not have sufficient 
power to do the required calculations (rare) then other scripting 
languages plug into it. You might want to look at soundfonts as a 
convenient way to deliver your project.

Yes there are some sampling software for GNU/Linux but their editors are
really poor for now. I need something more than soundfonts and giga.
With Kontakt it's possible to use key switches. I think I can make key
switches by using the logical statements of Csound.
Like:
If C4 key pressed while D1 is pressed than play foo sample.

It seems like it's possible. Key switches are important for my project.
