Absolutely yes!

Just remember to add a tiny little legal notice saying that the map comes from 
openstreetmap, and that it's licensed under CC-by-sa. That notice can be in 
the same page as the maps, or in the "legal" page of your site.

Besides that, you're free to use OSM's maps wherever you want, for whatever 
you want.
