Yes, as documented in "Life with qmail" and at qmail.org.

Don't. The included instructions are completely out of date. See "Life
with qmail" at http://lifewithqmail.org/ instead, and follow those
installation instructions. If you then need further help, it will be
much easier for us to help you.
Also read everything at qmail.org.
