In the HTML5 parsing algorithm, no, except via injection by script. Some older browsers may move such elements though. For example see the thread that starts at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007May/1066.html and in particular http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2007May/1081.html
However, there is the case of what happens to an element that's normally in head, appears either before the <head>
tag, or after the </head>
tag but before the body element is created, for instance http://software.hixie.ch/.... In this situation, the element will be moved inside the head element.
Note that elements between the <head>
and </head>
tags can easily end up not inside the head element due to invalid mark up, for instance, http://software.hixie.ch/...
