The lazy answer is yes. :)

You might want to know how to do it, don't you?!

In the Properties palette under Shape tab you have a check box "Text 
flows around frame". There is no way to actually set the text a bit off 
the shape so you might need to use 2 irregular graphics : one with a 
none color for pushing the text, and one filled as you wish to show the 
graphic itself.
