You can have fakedomain.com point to the same IP address as one of the
name servers, yes.
The second name server will need to point to a different IP address.
So, you might have
fakedomain.com. 1D IN A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
ns1.fakedomain.com. 1D IN A aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
ns2.fakedomain.com. 1D IN A eee.fff.ggg.hhh
www.fakedomain.com. 1D IN CNAME fakedomain.com.
fakedomain.com. 1D IN NS ns1.fakedomain.com.
fakedomain.com. 1D IN NS ns2.fakedomain.com.
