Yes.

The magic of reflection :-)
If you place a little math tool in a velocity context, say:
context.put("mathTool", new MathTool());
Than in your template foo.vm you can use it's methods like so:
#set ($firstBorn = 10)
#set ($armAndLeg = 20)
Your new version of XP will cost $mathTool.add($firstBorn, $armAndLeg)
bucks!
That's just a simple example. Geir has some great docs which you can find
on the velocity site that go into much more detail.
