Yes, you can, but what you can do depends on what platform you're on. See:

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.3/TkLib/GetCursor.htm#M5

Basically:
- The first form (cursor="<cursor name>") works everywhere.
- The second and third ones (cursor="@<path to cursor file> [<path to mask 
file>] <fg color> [<bg color>]") work only on Unix and accept files in XBM 
format, as created by the utility bitmap.
- The third form (cursor="@<cursor file>") works only on Windows and accepts 
.CUR or .ANI files
