In theory, yes, but it's a bad idea. As the manpage says:
The following commands are primarily useful for debugging Open vSwitch.
The flow table entries (both matches and actions) that they work with
are not OpenFlow flow entries. Instead, they are different and consid-
erably simpler flows maintained by the Open vSwitch kernel module. Use
ovs-ofctl(8), instead, to work with OpenFlow flow entries.
