Short answer: yes.
Create a LocationType model
Location belongsTo LocationType
In your location controller, do something like:
$types = $this->Location->LocationTypes->find('list')
and set the $types variable for the view:
$this->set(compact('types'));
In the view, you can then do:
echo $form->input('Location.type_id',array('type' => 'select',
'options' => $types));
