Probably. (Technically, it depends on the specific codec used for the
file, but I've played some of them in the past, using either xine or
mplayer.)

If I read my package descriptions right, Totem is a wrapper for xine.
It's actually xine, not totem, that's telling you this.
The info you want for xine is at:
http://xinehq.de/index.php/faq#WMV
If you have more specific questions after reading this link, post a
followup. Oh, and mention if you're using Slackware or Ubuntu this time
around. If Ubuntu, I can direct you to an "unofficial" Debian repository
that probably has what you need as .deb packages.
