Yes, it was with my Rebel XSi. As Irishwhistle said, you just adjust the aperture. Anything lower then around an f4-f4.5 stop should give you fairly good bokeh (as seen in my first image), anything higher you will start to get a lot more in focus.

Also, in addition to macro shots having a low aperture is also good for portrait shots.
