Yes, but then you need to publish the sources for the non-free application under the LGPL. When using headers to build your application, you create a derived work of those headers.
The headers are a public interface and as such only the phsical copy of the header falls under that sort of restriction. Go check out the GTK/GLIB headers. Both of which were developed for GNOME under the eye of the free software foundation. 1000s of closed source applications are developed using GTK/GLIB and there is no question that YES you can use them in a closed source application provided you make a offer for your changes to GTK/GLIB. The Wine people consulted the FSF and other projects before moving to the LGPL and having the headers under the LGPL is not a problem.
Thanks Steven
