In theory yes, but there isn't really anything you can do except reboot, as usually the CP (command processor) is hung, and you have to do a full GPU reset, I can't imagine X or Linux consoles surviving it too well... ATI have a VPU Recover in their windows driver which does it.. but they know their cards a bit better than we do.. it might be worth turning Render acceleration off Option "RenderAccel" "No" in xorg.conf and see if it gets any stabler...
