Not in a nice way[1]. The current hack that is suggested can be found in
the FAQ. See
  
http://sdaps.org/FAQ#Is_it_possible_to_put_content_inside_a_freeform_textbox.3F

It is a hack, but it will work. You'll need to ensure that the size of
your content matches the size of the box. The \linewidth and \textheight
sizes might be helpful.
