  Yes.  From the dhcpd manpage:

BOOTP Support
       Each BOOTP client  must  be  explicitly  declared  in  the
       dhcpd.conf  file.    A  very basic client declaration will
       specify the client network  interface's  hardware  address
       and  the  IP  address  to  assign to that client.   If the
       client needs to be able to  load  a  boot  file  from  the
       server,  that  file's  name  must be specified.   A simple
       bootp client declaration might look like this:

            host haagen {
              hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:4c:59:23;
              fixed-address 239.252.197.9;
              filename "/tftpboot/haagen.boot";
            }
