Sure. Reading /proc/acpi/video/*/*/info should tell you whether a device is an LCD or not. The brightness file should then contain a list of available brightnesses, and writing one into there should change the screen value. There's a patch somewhere that ports this to the /sys/class/backlight infrastructure, but I don't think it's applied yet. I'd write a test up for you, but I don't actually seem to have any hardware that implements this properly.
