It depends on where the tube is placed internally? If it's past the stomach in the intestine, tolerance may be an issue. You might experience diarrhea in this case especially if it's a sugary product.
If the tube goes into the stomach tolerance isn't as much of a concern. Some people use liquid yogurt and syringe it through the tube. You can also blend regular yogurt with milk or water until it is the consistency of regular formula and syringe it in. The key is not to clog the tube, so flushing with water is important.
Some people are allowed to have an oral diet even though they have a feeding tube. So yogurt would be fine. This depends on the individuals medical problem though and would need the OK from a doctor.
