I don't see why not, as we have sample code which uses WebRequest on the emulator.

The big issue I've experienced is that occasionally the emulator will come up without any internet access. A good way to test this is to launch Browser within the emulator and see if you can load e.g. http://www.google.com. If it doesn't, restart the emulator and try again. :-)
