Yes.

Let's say:

ROUTER                        [eth0] FW [eth1]             SERVERS
192.168.1.1/24         192.168.1.2/24  192.168.1.2/24    192.168.1.3-254/24

Steps to take:

- Set up the IP on the FW nics:
        ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth0
        ip addr add 192.168.1.2/24 dev eth1

- Enable proxy-arp on these interfaces:
        echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
        echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth1/proxy_arp

- Remove the local routes:
        ip ro del 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0
        ip ro del 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1

- Add a /32 route for the router:
        ip ro add 192.168.1.1/32 dev eth0

- Add a /24 route for the subnet:
        ip ro add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth1


You should be good to go.
