Hi Anthony,
definitively yes:
{literal} <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- your code --!> {/literal}
and also, you may use the feature in your pagelayout file:
{foreach ezini( 'JavaScriptSettings', 'JavaScriptList', 'design.ini' ) as $script} <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src={concat( 'javascript/', $script )|ezdesign}></script> {/foreach}

Note that you will have some troubles with bracket if you would like to customize your JavaScript function with eZ variables. I mean, that the code below will fall in error :
<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function myFunction(var1, var 2) { alert({$mytext}); } --!>
Prefer this :
{literal} <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function myFunction(var1, var 2) { {/literal} alert({$mytext}); {literal} } --!> {/literal}

Another way to add template data into javascript code is:
<script> var javascript_variable={$template_variable}; {literal} function javascript_function() { alert(javascript_variable); } {/literal} </script>
I have been using dojo with Smarty (http://smarty.php.net) and it is excellent. Take advantage of the themes, because they are very nice. It might be good to create a datatype that can do regular expression validation with dojo, using the "ValidationTextBox".
Good luck.
