Yep. Find an icon you like (my favorite site for this is InterFacelift), once it's downloaded, ctrl+click and select "Get Info", click on the icon at the top-left, press ctrl+c.

Then ctrl+click and select "Get Info" on the folder whose icon you want to change. Select the icon in the top left and press ctrl+v.

Congrats! Your icon is changed!

Note that this only works for the one Folder you have changed. This does not do a system wide folder icon change. However, if that is what you are looking for, Interfacelift is a good place to start too. There are lots of these "face lift" packages for Tiger at least. I am not sure of the status of most of them wrt Leopard... I just haven't looked yet.
