Yes, with two caveats.

First is developers, who can run their own apps on their own units.  I'm not up 
on the particulars, sorry.

Second is via jailbreak.  The devteam jailbreak tools usually install Cydia, a 
non-Apple application store application.

Not as such.  On jailbroken units, Cydia coexists with Apple's store.  They are 
separate, independent, and rarely are apps available in both but neither do 
they interfere with each other.
