In short, no. Taekwondo kicks incorporate the consept of chambering. That was rejected by Bruce as leading to delay and telegrephing. The JKD side kick does have some similarities to TKD, except for the chambering and the targeting and the foot work for set up.
That is not to say that there is not some contenuity. If you have mastered the TKD kicks, the JKD kicks will be very easy for you and you should be able to aply many of the same motor skills. My very basic TKD was helpfull to me when I started on the pathless path.
Just my opinion.
