Yes.
Configure your xserver ('dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86') and choose
the desired resolutions. The highest will be default.

In Gnome or KDE, press 'CTRL-ALT +' and 'CTRL-ALT -' to switch between
modes. Note that this method will bring you a virtual desktop on other
resolutions than the highest. Good for "zooming" etc.

I know madrake has some GUI to do the same as in Windoze (change desktop
size and resolution), but I've never needed that function.

Hope this helps!
