Yes. The iPad browser (safari) seems to render standard asp.net sites pretty well. Not mac pretty, but it works.
I'm actually doing one now that is ASP.NET that will (hopefully) handle IE and firefox desktop along with iPad. I'll be doing a few iPad specific pages that will reduce what is displayed, but for the most part it will be common pages for the real world and iPads.
