Yes.

>From the fai-guide:

addpackages
    The list of additional packages which are installed on the new
    system if they are available in /fai/files/packages. It should
    also contain the name of the kernel package that should be
    installed. You can create a simple repository by using following
    commands on the install server:

     # cd /usr/local/share/fai/files
     # dpkg-scanpackages packages /dev/null | gzip -9 > packages/Packages.gz
