Yes you can but it's better to use yum with CentOS
yum install apt

Apt for RPM is a dead technology ... The person who did apt is now doing smartpm:
Smart PM works with yum repos :)

To answer your original question: No, you can't.
Apt does not work with architectures that can have multiple libraries (aka. Multi-Lib arches).
A Multi-Lib arch is one that might have the same packages installed for more than one glibc and can run packages from more than one arch. An example is the x86_64 arch .. it also runs i386 packages. SPARC also can be Multi-Lib, so there is no apt repo for it on CentOS.
The only distro where we build and apt repo is i386.

There's still some life in it yet! While I agree Yum and Smart both have their advantages, Apt still has the speed advantage. I use all three across different machines. Panu Matilainen recently added basic multilib support for x86_64:

Now, if I only had a x86_64 machine to plan on...
