As long as you can pop up a dial-pad on the screen mid-call then
you should be able to do it. My android phone can do this although
I've no idea if (why?) it might refuse to do so on an incoming
call.

(Quick test - called my mobile which I answered, and it let me pop-up
the dial-pad to send tones, so it's fine on Android - ot my HTC Dz anyway)

I have used 'callback' on my HTC Desire. Thus I used the soft keypad to
dial a number. So, yes, you can use the keypad on incoming calls.
