Yes.

:) 

More specifically:

 var markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers( "Markers" );
 map.addLayer(markers);
 var size = new OpenLayers.Size(21,25); // icon size
 var offset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(-(size.w/2), -size.h);
   // Offset of top left of icon from latlon point
 var icon = new  OpenLayers.Icon('http://openlayers.org/dev/img/marker.png',size,offset);
 marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(new OpenLayers.LonLat(90,10),icon);
 markers.addMarker(marker);

Note that it also supports popups, and a variety of other stuff, and if
it doesn't support something you want, just give it to me, and it
probably will at some point in the near future. (Alternatively, open a
ticket at trac.openlayers.org.)

Okay. If you don't get to it in the near future, I'll go through and
patch 'em, and send a patch to the dev list.
