Yes, indirectly. You first need to tunnel some high port on A to port 22
on C, through B:

  ssh -L 9999:C:22 -fN B

And then make your local sftp connect to the forwarded port on A:

  sftp -oPort=9999 A

(replace A by 127.0.0.1, localhost or another alias if it complains
about an invalid host key; it's obviously reading it from C, so it won't
match a previously stored one)
