Legally...no. My way to do it would be to bypass the factory switch and run them to a toggle powered independently - then you have complete control over them.

I like that better then the factory method. I hate how my fogs are not on by default. Darn it, I have them, I want them on...

Legally, your fogs have to turn off with the high beams. That's why every car has them turn off. Granted a cop has to actually enforce it first.
