Yes, you can! Here is an extract of the FreeBSD port's Makefile:

.if defined(WITH_ATLAS)
LIB_DEPENDS+=	atlas.2:${PORTSDIR}/math/atlas
LIBBLASLAPACK=	"-L${LOCALBASE}/lib -lalapack -lf77blas -latlas -lm"
.else
LIB_DEPENDS+=	lapack.4:${PORTSDIR}/math/lapack
LIBBLASLAPACK=	"-L${LOCALBASE}/lib -llapack -lblas -lm"
.endif
CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--with-blas-lapack-lib=${LIBBLASLAPACK}
