Yes you can create your own projection in Settings->Custom CRS.
You'll need to create your own proj4 compatible string. Comparing a few
similar projections should help you figure out what you need.

Note in recent versions of QGIS if you look in the Projection on the Fly
dialog, there are several Mars projections and Coordinate systems.

Need more help, please provide more information about the planet
size/shape and type of projection.
