Yes.  In this case, the small FindFoo would consist of a call like

  find_package(Foo NO_MODULE)

which would proceed in config-mode instead of loading the same module
again.  This call could be surrounded by more configuration options and
messages, but these are not critical.  If an application wants the nicer
find interface it can have a copy of FindFoo (or get one from an
already-found dependency).  Otherwise at least finding will work without it.
