Yes, I use GPT on some of my plain Opteron machines:

> s parted /dev/sda print
Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-4959103.500 megabytes
Disk label type: gpt
Minor    Start       End     Filesystem  Name                  Flags
1          0.017 4959103.483                                    lvm

but the boot disk still has a plain DOS partition table.  It was
something of a pain to figure out how to do this properly as most of
the utilities don't support GPT well.
