Not in a cross-browser way. Modern browsers are adding support for the @font-face style. Currently, only Opera and Webkit (Safari, Chrome, etc...) support this. Firefox has a beta patch to add support and is planning to support @font-face with the 3.1 release. IE, of course does not and I don't know of any plans to do so.

Members of the IE team, incidentally, are leading an effort to standardize a format for web-fonts as none exist. The big hurdle is here is legal. The typeface foundries have long had reservations about people stealing access to their fonts. Until a suitable solution is developed for that, I don't see @font-face having that much value. Of course, you could use open source typefaces (dafont.com has several).

With that said, there are other ways to do this. Namely sIFR (http://wiki.novemberborn.net/sifr) and FLIR (http://flir.mawhorter.net/).
