Yes.

Do you have your zip code data already (if not then
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/z52000.html or there are more
accurate/up-to-date commercial sources). You essentially need lng/lat
associated with each zip to allow you to do the distance calculations.

Once you have your data you need to be able to calculate distances from
one zip to the next. There are several choices:
 1. Make the data available as a spatially aware data source e.g. load
into database or GIS app
 2. Pre-process the distances and make available as a non-spatial data
source. This typically has a speed advantage and is viable with zip code
data because it's relatively static.

Let me know if you would like me to expand on these.

Is it possible to get a list of zip codes that are within a certain
radius from a provided zip code?

Thanks,
