The answer is yes. A sub-package is a totally separate package.
Note, however, that at time one subpackage may depend on
another-subpackage=%{version}-%{release} (I'm not sure my syntax is
correct). e.g: the -devel subpackage should be of the same version of
the main package, if it is installed.
But any such dependecy should be set manually.
