It doesn't look like a good fit. It might work, but probably not. It is only spec'ed for 5V supply and it will put out near 5V when the output is high. Is your part 5V tolerant? most low voltage parts are not.
A quick search of Farnell.com doesn't show any DIP parts that can interface to 1.8V.
Depending on how much you dislike SMD you may be able to bend the leads of an SOIC so they fit in DIP holes. I would recommend either living with the SMD or getting adapter boards like this. http://cimarrontechnology.com/sc70to6-pindipadapterpn041103b.aspx
