Yes. By default rpm/smart is used, but you can use apt/dpkg or opkg if you prefer. You can either copy packages onto the target and use the tool to install directly (dpkg -i for example), or use a HTTP daemon to share your tmp/deploy/deb folder and set PACKAGE_FEED_URIS to configure the feed in your images.
