Yes.

I believe that an entity used to hold the external DTD subset can have a
text declaration <?xml ...?> just like any other external entity, though
they seem to be rarely used in practice. Try it and see. I assume this is
what you meant by the question. A DTD can't include an XML prolog because
the prolog allows a DOCTYPE declaration, and DTDs can't be nested except by
using parameter entities.

This is completely off-topic for this list.
