Absolutely. Go to System Preferences > Sharing and check the File Sharing button checkbox. Click the Options... button and make sure "Share files and folders using SMB" is checked and your user account is checked. You should now be able to share files from your Mac with your PCs.

To access from Windows, go to Start > Run and type in \\<ip address of your mac>
