Yes it can just like with FreeBSD IPFW (used also by OS X) on which IPtables were originally based. There are some serious differences though. I have seen only one or two very serious documents on the Internet written by very competent people experienced with both tools. The first notable difference is that IPtables much like it father IPFW is an ugly script which needs to be loaded first. By comparison PF language is beautifully simple.
