Yes, it's going to be similar.

In a proofing type workflow, the aim is to get a printer (or other
display device) to emulate some particular target colorspace. You do
this by transforming the colors you want to reproduce through a source
profile (which defines the target you are trying to emulate) and the
device profile.
If you want to check how accurate your proofing system is,
then the type of thing you might do is generate a test
set in the target device colorspace, and run it through the
source profile with fakeread to create the reference .ti3 file.
Then you run the same colors through your proofing workflow
(e.g. create a .tif using printtarg, then apply the source
to printer device link to the .tiff using cctiff and print it,
or run the .tif through whatever ICC based workflow you have
setup for proofing), measure the result and compare
the .ti3 to the reference using colverify.
