In general, yes.

If you are using plain /etc/network/interfaces, you have a "pre"
and "post" command available for each interface. 

"ifplugd" automates that nicely.

"ifscheme" is a package on top of interfaces which offers
labelled configuration sets. "home" and "work", for instance.

ifupdown-multi handles multiple default routes

wicd can handle all sorts of interfaces, and does not require an
X11 display.
