Sure, as noted in the
specification<http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/geomap.html>
:

*Format 1: Latitude/Longitude locations.* This format works only when the
dataMode option is 'markers'. If this format is used, you do not need to
include the Google Map Javascript. The location is entered in two columns,
plus two optional columns:

   1. [*Number, Required*] A latitude. Positive numbers are north, negative
   numbers are south.
   2. [*Number, Required*] A longitude. Positive numbers are east, negative
   numbers are west.
   3. [*Number, Optional*] A numeric value displayed when the user hovers
   over this region. *If column 4 is used, this column is required.*
   4. *[String, Optional] Additional string text displayed when the user
   hovers over this region*.


BTW: you don't have to manually find the Lat/Long of each city, you
can use Google
Geocoding API <http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/>.
You can even use the API once and cache the returned Lat/Long.
