Yes (or the sub-element to which the attribute applied). So:

        <cite lang="de">Mein Kampf</cite>

would be correct, even when referring to an English translation, but:

        <cite lang="en">Verwenden von Microformats durch Brian
        Suda<\cite>

would not.

In cases where you're citing an on-line source (and of course many
resources are on paper), you can use hreflang:

        <cite>
          <a href="www.ad.nl/" hreflang="nl">Algemeen Dagblad</a>
        </cite>
