RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+[^/])/?$ pages.php?page=$1 [L]
Yes, that's absolutely fine - except that your regex isn't quite right - the [^/] and the /? do the same job, so all you really need is:
CODE
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ pages.php?page=$1 [L]
Yours would work - it's just I don't like redundant code!
