Yes.
And you need to set up a widget-ready area in exactly the same way as you set up a widget-ready sidebar. For example, I widgetize the home page on some of my themes:
FUNCTIONS.PHP
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
register_sidebar(array(
'name'=> 'Main',
'id' => 'main',
'before_widget' => '<div class="widget_box side">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h3>',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
));
register_sidebar(array(
'name'=> 'Homepage',
'id' => 'homepage',
'before_widget' => '<div class="widget_box">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h3>',
'after_title' => '</h3>',
));
}
Then I simply insert <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Homepage')) : ?> into the homepage template wherever I want the widgets to be placed.

thank you very much for your reply
Sounds great but what if you want 3 widgets instead of one?
You could try out the Widgets on Pages plugin I’ve written… it allows you to add entire sidebar areas to page and post content
