Yes, if you compile GDAL with libtiff and libgeotiff support.  I always
compile GDAL using --with-libtiff=internal and --with-geotiff=internal.
  Actually, I'm not sure if those declarations are necessary, or whether
GDAL has tiff support built-in by default.  In any case, it's a good
idea to use GDAL's internal tiff support.
