Ok,,let's start this out. What is going wrong and making you think that you have a transfer case problem? Knocking noise can easily be ujoints.
If, and at this point, I say IF, it is the transfer case..just exactly is it doing?
If it is grinding itself to death..No, do not drive it, but let's see what is wrong. Do you KNOW it is the case, do you have metal in the oil.
Need a little more details.
Good Luck

Depends on which transer case it is, what the problem is with the T-case. If you have a full-time 4WD system no, due to the fact that running with a bad transfer case in full time 4WD will cause further damage. If its part time, you should be able to temporarily, but I would get the t-case repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
If someone is selling it with a bad transfer case, don't buy it. Find a jeep that is less of an issue. Transfer case problems are expensive to fix, along with other 4WD system components.
Avoid this one if its being sold as is, since the seller don't seem to want to fix it, there's probably other issues as well.

It will run,
but it won't drive.
Transfer case , sits behind the transmission and puts the power to the front and rear axle via chain and driveshafts.

I have a grinding noise in my transfer case on my 99 also. I'm taking it to a transfer case/transmission specialist tomorrow. Cherokee's are piece's of ****!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing but a money pit, I'd rather put money in a slot machine.

It depends on what is wrong with the case. It may or may not be driveable.

the effort-free thank you to do it and maximum inexpensive is to pass on your community junk backyard and discover a 2 wheel rigidity one and take the rigidity shift from that,and then basically block the hollow on the floor

define run, and bad.
You will need to have it fixed to operate it safely.
