Think so.

Though I I haven't tried it myself, both the Mac mouse and keyboard 
appear to be able to wake a "sleeping" Mac via Bluetooth. This 
AppleCare Knowledge Base article sorta touches on this:

It looks like you have to have either built in Bluetooth with your Mac 
or the right D-Link adapter (both with the most up to date firmware). 
But, at least with some stuff, it's suppose to work...

I do have the right D-Link adapter, with updated firmware. Still, I 
couldn't get my T3 to "wake" my iMac or Powerbook when trying to 
connect.
