Yes, but it must then be clearly labeled that it is only for devices that are dimmer compatible (no motors, no fans, no computers, no nondimable lights, etc.) This might reasonably be done for an outlet that is dedicated to a single lamp.
However some electrical codes may prohibit this (even though it can be done) for safety.
