Can I use a radio trigger and flash combo (yong nuo rf-602 and yong nuo 460-II) with my slr, a nikkomat ft2. I had them before but sold them already so I cannot test it with my Nikkomat. 

Not an issue with focal plane shutters, which normally dictate a max shutter speed of 1/25th or thereabouts.
What? Just stay at or below your camera's synch speed.

What he is saying is that if you are hard wired to your strobe, you can operate up to 1/500th with a leaf shutter.
If you introduce a transmitter/receiver, the signal from one to the other may prohibit you from going as high as the shutter willl allow you.
Or in simpler terms, the leaf shutter may let you operate at 1/500th, but the transmitter/receiver wont.
PW products don't seem to have this issue. Most of my studio shooting is well south of 1/500. Outdoors at higher speed? No problems. Don't think the OP has much to worry about.
...Electrons travel at/near the speed of light so the slowest part of the chain is the shutter...
True. I use the Flex TT5's and regularly shoot at speeds over 1/1000th without issue.
What leaf shutter operates at 1/1000th?
Or is this a FP shutter with a flash that fires multiple times during the exposure?
