ABSOLUTELY!! In fact the problem of installing Accumulo and its many sub-parts installed, configured and working properly stopped me from even attempting it. Configuring something I don't yet understand is so unpleasant I try hard to avoid it.
Sqrrl packages their Accumulo as a VirtualBox VM with no dangling loose ends. They also provide a version for Amazon EC2 which I'm also using. Cloudera has an even nicer installer (for Hadoop minus Accumulo it seems) with GUIs for most sub-parts.
