Yes. Assuming that the pop3 accounts are system accounts, it's very easy.
Install sasl-bin and some sasl modules:
apt-get install sasl-bin libsasl-modules-plain
and run sendmailconfig, which should detect the presense of sasl-bin and
enable smtp auth.
After sendmail reconfigures and reloads, connect to port 25 (presumably) and
issue a 'ehlo' and you should see what auth mechs are supported.
