More or less, although it is not yet reliably possible. Set
DEBIAN_FRONTEND=Noninteractive in the environment and use the
--force-confdef flag to dpkg to suppress any conffile prompts. (However,
the latter may break the package if you had edited the conffile and it
required major changes.)
If a package does its own interaction with the sysadmin, I'm afraid
you're out of luck.
