Yes. 

Your question is a generic Linux question. No matter what the system
(embedded, server, home-desktop, your toaster's mp3 player, etc. etc.
), there is no stone-tablet that states 'thy shall not split your FS
on different drives". For example, you can put your /lib/modules/ tree
in an NFS mount, on your thumb-drive, store your / on the CF card, and
store /var/my/special/data/tree on a tmpfs directory. 

It's only realistic depending on your situation. For my office, i may
want everything on my laptop. For home, perhaps I want to store my
home directory on an NFS server, or store my /home/public/media on a
SMB server.
