Yes, but not out of the box: You can train your own tagger on the Brown corpus. Performance will depend on the kind of text you need to tag, and on how much work you put into trying out different kinds of taggers. Chapter 5 of the NLTK book will walk you step by step through the process of making a pretty decent tagger (look at the section on N-Gram Tagging in particular), and it even uses the Brown corpus as an example-- you won't need to change a thing.
