Yes.  And the record format is identical to the TXT record format.

Although, for now, you should put in both.  Folks using older versions
of various SPF validation software floating around do not yet lookup SPF
(type 99) records, and this is further complicated by the fact that
certain DNS implementations do not respond at all to a query for an SPF
record type (again, of the type 99 variety), which causes a significant
timeout issue.  :-/
