Well the answer is "yes, but..."

First what you want is displacement not bump. Depending on how your bump map is made it might or might not give you good results for displacement. This also depends on the application. 

If you have a suitable bump map you can use many of the higher end 3D apps to"bake" the displacement  into geometery. I use Vue Infinite for this purpose. Some things to keep in mind:
