Sure you can. In the latest Filesystem Hierarchy Standard it states that /media should be used for removable media, for example CD/DVD and USB keys, and /mnt should be used for mounting a filesystem temporarily, ie mounting an NFS share to copy files, or mounting an old hard drive to copy stuff from it.
