Yes.  Why would you expect otherwise?  There's nothing wrong with a CNAME
record that points to a name that has no A records.  For instance, RFC 2317
makes extensive use of CNAME records that point to names that normally only
have PTR records.

There isn't even anything wrong with CNAME records that point to names that
don't have *any* records.  Trying to look up something via the alias will
fail, but that's OK.
