Yes, it's possible. I don't recommend it however. There are a couple of
common issues they will run into if they piggy back things.
When the phone resets (for any reason) you'll lose network connectivity on the
PC. In some cases we see it actually cause a PC reboot which I've yet to
understand, but it can be reproduced.
On some (most?) phone sets, the network port is 100MB instead of GB, so you may
end up restricting network throughput by doing this. Some phones have GB
ports, normally the higher end ones, and that will obviously be equipment
specific, but it's something to watch for.

Subject: [NTSysADM] vlan on single port
Hi all
i have a client that is setting up a new office with voip and naturally I'm
recomending seperate drops and a seperate switch (small office < 30 users)
,however , as most clients, they dont want spend anymore money than they have
to, so they want to piggy back the computers to the phones ethernet port . Is
it possible to vlan off the same drop/port ?
