As long as the program supports it (which all major terminals do), yes.
This is done through the "geometry" command-line option.
See
man X
/geometry
for details.
Examples from my ~/bin/startbb (which is called from my ~/.xinitrc):

Again, this very much depends on the application (AFAIK). Other windows
manager allow you (IIRC) to specify something like "without decoration",
but in BB you can only do it if the application allows it. Somebody
else gave you an example.
