Yes. If you're speaking of spiritual satanism. Many spiritual santanist have the view that Enki has many names all over the world. They don't deny the other gods, they merely focus on one. Look up archeological and historical studies of the beliefs of those times NOT the wide-eyed conspiracy theorist websites by people who think they are the next Sherlock Holmes or Nancy Drew. Most academic individuals who study the culture and times of that area of the world have found definitive links between various deities due to their similar if not identical appearances, stories and authority. Look it up ;-)
It depends on how you look at it. If you are just working with them, they are egypt gods. Nothing more. If you are working with them thinking that, they are that.

Xen it isn't my religion, I just find myself talking to a multitude of satanists. It's becoming a very common belief. Every single one enjoys giving me resources to learn about their ways, and although I don't share the beliefs, I find it interesting to read about. Plus it helps me to understand them.

I guess I'm curious as to why you want to mix Satanism with other belief systems. First you wanted to mix it with Wicca. Now you want to mix it with Egyptian Deities. It sounds as though you're not certain what Satanism is, much less these other religions.
That being said, there is a branch of Satanism that actively works with the Egyptian Diety, Set. The Temple of Set is one of the largest Satanic groups in the country. You can find information about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Set of just Google their website. The whole purpose of study in the Temple of Set is to enlighten and improve oneself through a number of different methods.
No.The theory that Egyptian Gods are Demons is a Pandemonium(i.e. when someone of x religion decides to call demons all gods/entities of another religion).
The first pandemonium made by Judeo-Christians was the Summerian/Assyrian paganism as most of Summerian&Assyrian gods were made Judeo-Christian demon.Mostly Jewish.
Christianity was born later,and it already had most of its "demons",so everything that remained was to give Satan his own "nationality".
That "nationality" was Egyptian(since Egypt was the closest place to Judea). Thus,the fact that most demons were Summerian/Assyrian,was forgotten(even because these civilizations were almost lost),and Egyptian Religion was biased as devil worshiping,and Egyptian gods,as demons.
