Yes, almost exactly that way:

p.imageBullets { background: url('Image_files/image003.gif') no-repeat top 
left; padding-left: 16px; /* or however wide your image is + whatever gap you'd 
like between it and the text /* }

that will create a 'hanging bullet'. A bullet that acts like a floated element 
(text wrapping around it and under it, rather than in a separate 'column') is a 
little trickier (and, IMO, uglier) but is possible, I believe, with generated 
content.
