Yes absolutely. The web interfaces to git allow generation of snapshots, which can be downloaded using wget. It also allows downloading of individual patches via wget. See the repositories on www.kernel.org to get a feel for it. I don't have git on my system, and used the git web download a lot until xorg and the Intel video drivers played nice with my laptop.
