Absolutely.  It's nothing-but-net.  I can even get it to read the hostname
from DHCP and select an unattended configuration based on that.

My installs go something like this:

pxelinux boot prompt: win
It asks me for a username to mount the share with.
It asks me for a password to mount the share with.
It asks me for a password to join the domain.

Now, the machine just goes and installs itself including all applications
and patches including as many reboots as needed.

I really can't rave about it enough, and it works beautifully with an
OpenBSD server.
