Yes, you can do that by passing a function as the last parameter to .emit.

Example from the "Sending and getting data (acknowledgements)" section of socket.io:

server:

var io = require('socket.io').listen(80);

io.sockets.on('connection', function (socket) {
  socket.on('ferret', function (name, fn) {
    fn('woot');
  });
});

client:

<script>
  var socket = io.connect();
  socket.on('connect', function () {
    socket.emit('ferret', 'tobi', function (data) {
      console.log(data); // data will be 'woot'
    });
  });
</script>
