Short answer: yes.
If you didn't already know, Infocom wrote their games in byte code for
an imaginary machine (a "Z-machine") and distributed the game with an
appropriate interpreter for the computer. All you have to do is
extract the data files, and you can run the games on nearly any
machine you can think of.
The best interpreter currently available is ZIP, which can be found at
ftp://ftp.gmd.de/if-archive/infocom/interpreters/zip. The MS-DOS
binary is called zip203.zip, I think.
As for how to extract the data files...well, if you can dump a disk
image, there are tools in /if-archive/infocom/tools/c64todat.tar.Z.
If you don't have a C compiler or access to one, I might be able to
help you; send me e-mail.
You might ask other C64 people about how to get a disk image.
