Sure !
In fact it's binfmt_misc
it's a kernel module that the most recent distributions should have 
included in their base kernel.
http://www.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de/~rguenth/linux/binfmt_misc.html
Once it's loaded, there's a few manipulations to register a binary with 
the module, I've attached the rc.d script that my distribution 
(archlinux - http://www.archlinux.org) uses.
