Yes.

Any element will do.
In the stylesheet, target the element with span:lang(fr){/*styles*/} or
whatever element you choose. A universal selector will also do, like
*:lang(fr){/*styles*/}, as long as you make sure you target the document
area you want, like for example #content *:lang(fr){/*styles*/}.
Note that IE7 and older don't support :lang(). IE8 and others are fine.
