I don't have a comp tip mast, but I don't think it should be a
problem. They key would be whether the reefing stop (really just a
small swage) will run through the sheave on a comp tip.

Of course using the old style (all metal) halyard will at least
partially defeat the purpose of the comptip by providing a nice
conductive path from your mast tip - so don't run into any power lines!
(not that you'd be trying)
