Yes under 2 different plans.  

1 is to get the SIP softphone plan which is a different phone number and
limited in the number of minutes per month you can use.

2 break into your ATA and get your credentials so you can register
directly.  This way however has a major drawback in that it is a
violation of their TOS.  Due to case law in America (where vonage is so
it doesnt really matter where you are) a violation of the TOS is a
felony pursuant to 18 USC 1030(a)(5) punishable upto 10 years in jail
and fines upto $250,000.  While it is unlikely to result in anything
other than them canceling your account if they discover it, you should
be warned of the downside on that should they choose to persue it.  I
dont advise you to try this for that reason.
