Yes. However, you will only have the video functionality however. The video portions of HDMI and DVI are compatible. You can use an HDMI to DVI cable or a HDMI to DVI Adapter.
Whether or not it will actually work or not requires a bit more complex of an answer due to HDCP. It is meant to prevent viewers from copying content they are not "allowed" to copy. (see definition of HDCP in this FAQ)
HDMI connectors all use HDCP. DVI connections on the other hand, may or may not have HDCP. Computers and LCD monitors for example, can have DVI connections which do not have, or "need" HDCP. Many of the early HDTV's to include DVI connectors do not have HDCP. Some projectors, especially non-Home Theater oriented ones with DVI connectors do not have HDCP. Generally you will need to be sure that both devices use HDCP in order to connect together an HDMI device and a DVI device.
