Of course it's possible. It's even possible to have /home mounted on a 
different machine over the network (NFS).

To mount /home on a different drive, just create an empty /home 
directory on the drive where your root partition is, and then in 
/etc/fstab insert a line like:

/dev/hdc7    /home    ext2    user,errors=remount-ro      0       2

If you need more details: man fstab
